Аннотация
PURPOSE: To introduce a new hydrophilic contact lens design to be used as a corneoscleral bandage for different types of conjunctival surgery and pterygium surgery.
METHODS: The soft lenses are fabricated in large diameters from 17.5 to 19 mm and have custom peripheral curvatures to guarantee a normal tear film circulation to allow for extended wear for 2 or 3 consecutive weeks.
CONCLUSIONS: This novel design facilitates postoperative recovery and reduces the chance of recurrence after pterygium surgery. The authors have been using this type of lens in their clinical practice for more than 4 years.
