Long-term Clinical Results: 3 Years of Up to 30-Night Continuous Wear of Lotrafilcon A Silicone Hydrogel and Daily Wear of Low-Dk/t Hydrogel Lenses

Abstract

During the 3 years, lotrafilcon A lens wearers who wore their lenses continuously for up to 30 nights showed stable, long-term improvements in many signs of corneal health and symptoms along with less myopic progression versus daily wearers of low-Dk/t hydrogel lenses. Many biomicroscopy signs and symptoms worsened among neophytes wearing daily-wear low-Dk/t hydrogel lenses. The use of lotrafilcon A lenses may minimize many ocular changes from soft contact lens wear.
