In this paper results of comparative study of the optical power of soft contact lenses (SCL) made of standard material for SCL and nanophotonic materials with different measurement techniques used for the final contact lens controllers are presented. Three types of nanophotonic soft contact lenses were made of standard polymacon material (Soleko SP38TM) incorporated with fullerene C60, fullerol C60(OH)24 and fullerene metformin hydroxylate C60(OH)12(OC4N5H10)12. For the purposes of material characterization for potential application as soft contact lenses, the optical properties of the soft contact lenses were measured by Rotlex and Nidek device. With Rotlex device the following optical results were obtained: optical power and map of defects, while with the Nidek device: optical power, cylinder power and cylinder axis. The obtained values of optical power and map of defects showed that the optical power of synthesized nanophotonic soft contact lens is same to the nominal value, while this was not the case for the standard soft contact lens. Also, the quality of the nanophotonic soft contact lens is better than the standard one. Hence, it is possible to synthesize new nanophotonic soft contact lenses of desired optical characteristics, implying possibilities for their application in this field.

Objectives. To describe the past 20 years’ correction modalities for keratoconus and their visual outcomes and possible complications.Methods. A review of the published literature related to the visual outcomes and possible complications in the context of keratoconus management using nonsurgical procedures for the last 20 years (glasses and contact lenses) was performed. Original articles that reported the outcome of any correction modalities of keratoconus management were reviewed.Results. The most nonsurgical procedure used on keratoconus management is the contact lens fitting. Soft contact lenses and soft toric contact lenses, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses, piggyback contact lens system, hybrid contact lenses, and scleral and corneoscleral contact lenses form the contemporary range of available lens types for keratoconus management with contact lenses. All of them try to restore the vision, improve the quality of life, and delay surgical procedures in patients with this disease. Complications are derived from the intolerance of using contact lens, and the use of each depends on keratoconus severity.Conclusions. In the context of nonsurgical procedures, the use of contact lenses for the management of keratoconic patients represents a good alternative to restore vision and improve the quality of live in this population.

Presbyopia Correction

Proper presbyopia correction has become increasingly relevant for clinical practice in recent years. This problem arises from both the population ageing as a whole and the need for a higher vision quality that directly affects the quality of patients’ life. There are many factors that require comfortable and high-quality vision correction with soft contact lenses, such as active sports, the desire not to change usual activities and feel younger, the reluctance to use extra reading glasses and glasses in general. We have to look for soft contact lenses with the wettest surface, lenses that can maintain tear film for as long as possible due to following reasons: disruption of eye surface’s wetting; dry eye syndrome, that sometimes arise with age; medicine use, one of the side effects of which is usually the reduction of tear production. The review provides recommendations for the fitting of multifocal contact lenses through the example of Biofinity Multifocal with different designs: distance-center and near-center. Conclusion: It is possible not only to achieve high vision quality at all distances in patients, but also to maintain their accustomed lifestyle and to minimize their astenopic complaints with the help of proper presbyopia correction.

Further Development

The optical properties of the cornea are determined by its ability to refract and transmit light. Keratoconus changes cornea’s shape, the surface of the cornea becomes irregular, which leads to a violation of light refraction and the occurrence of optical aberrations. The progressing course of the disease and its late detection lead to a delayed start of therapeutic measures, which affects the prognosis of the disease progression and reduces the patient’s quality of life. The quality of visual functions depends on the stage of the process. There are 4 stages of keratoconus (according to M. Asler), each of which corresponds to certain changes in refraction and degree of deformation of the cornea. Early biomicroscopic signs are: “dilution” of the stroma (inhomogeneity of the cornea and a grayish tint in the zone of the developing apex), change in the shape of endothelial cells and clearly visible nerve endings due to longitudinal thickening. In the second stage of keratoconus, the biomicroscopic picture is complemented by the appearance of keratoconus lines (Vogt’s striae). The opacities of the Bowman’s membrane indicate the beginning of the scarring process and the transition of the disease to its third stage. The fourth stage of the disease is characterized by further development of stromal opacities and the occurrence of gross changes of the Descemet’s membrane. Advanced medical equipment for topographic mapping and measuring the cornea makes it much easier for ophthalmologists to diagnose keratoconus and choose more effective treatment methods: crosslinking or surgical treatment. Later it allows to stabilize keratoconus, but does not provide high visual acuity due to the induction of optical aberrations, including high order optical aberrations. Contact lens vision correction is the main way to correct the refractive error resulting from keratoconus. However, the use of corneal gas permeable or soft contact lenses cannot provide high quality vision, additionally causing discomfort associated with their excessive mobility. The use of scleral gas permeable contact lenses is the most effective method of optical correction of all stages of keratoconus and after keratoplasty.

The review presents the data on the use of hybrid contact lenses (HCL), a modern method of contact correction of ametropias of diverse origins. A HCL has a central rigid optical zone made of highly gas-permeable material and a flexible peripheral part made of hydrophilic material. These lenses combine the optical effect of gas-permeable corneal lens with the comfort and stable fitting of soft contact lenses. Compared with the corneal (RGP) lenses, HCLs are more comfortable, often are better centrated and more stably fit on the eye. HCLs are successfully used in various refractive disorders: ametropias (with regular cornea), irregular astigmatism, presbyopia, including that combined with astigmatism. This type of lens is a good option of contact correction for patients who have high requirements to the quality of vision.

The Impact

Background: The COVID-19 epidemic is largely controlled by the use of face masks. The use of a face mask has been indicated as a strong cause of dry eye, although it is not yet described in the literature. This study aims to compare the impact of the use of masks on the visual quality of patients. The symptoms in the human eye intensified during the pandemic versus the symptoms before the pandemic, in a Portuguese population. Methods: A fifteen-question questionnaire was conducted to find out what changes occurred in the use of soft contact lenses during the pandemic in relation to the use of masks. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 27.0 software (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The use of contact lenses decreased compared with before the pandemic (p < 0.001). The number of hours of wear decreased significantly compared with before the pandemic (p < 0.001). The sensation of dry eyes was found to be worse in those using monthly replacement contact lenses (p = 0.034), and the need to remove contact lenses was more frequent in women (p = 0.026) after using a mask. Conclusions: Mask use increases dry eye symptoms in contact lens wearers, negatively impacting visual quality.

Purpose: to study the effect of bifocal soft contact lens (BSCL) with an ADD of 4 diopters on peripheral refraction (PR), optical and ergonomic eye parameters in children with myopia.Patients and methods. 26 patients (52 eyes) with myopia –3.09 ± 1.13 diopters at the age of 10.04 ± 1.5 years without correction and with correction by BSCL Prima BIO Bi-focal ( Okay Vision Retail, Russia). All patients underwent a horizontal and vertical PR study on an open field autorefractometer Grand Seiko WAM-5500 (Japan), wavefront aberrations were studied on OPD-Scan III aberrometer (Nidek, Japan), contrast sensitivity under mesopic conditions were studied on a Mesotest 2 instrument (Oculus, Germany) and visual productivity was studied using test tables.Results. The visual acuity of the distance with a BSCL correction of 0.98 ± 0.04 did not differ (p = 0.26) from the maximum visual acuity corrected by spherocylindrical glasses of 0.99 ± 0.04. BSCL induces myopic defocus in all peripheral zones, with a maximum value of 15° and a sharp decrease of 30°. Peripheral myopic defocus induced by the lens at a horizontal and vertical angle of 15 degrees did not depend on the initial degree of myopia. BSCL increases the total RMS from 0.07 ± 0.02 μm to 0.19 ± 0.07 μm in the 3 mm zone (p < 0.01) and from 0.27 ± 0.09 μm to 1.18 ± 0, 23 μm in the 6 mm zone (p < 0.01), mainly due to an increase in spherical aberration from –0.0005 ± 0.006 μm to 0.06 ± 0.01 μm (p < 0.01) and from 0.01 ± 0.09 μm to 0.58 ± 0.14 μm (p < 0.01) in the 3 mm and 6 mm zones, respectively. An increase in the overall RMS in BSCL reduces the quality of eye optics and contrast sensitivity under mesopic conditions, but does not impair visual productivity.Conclusion. BSCLs with a high ADD of 4 diopters are capable of inducing significant myopic peripheral defocus due to the induction of spherical aberration, while maintaining high visual acuity and not changing ophthalmic ergonomics, which makes them a pathogenetically substantiated method for correcting myopia and preventing its progression in children and adolescents.

The review covers the issue of hybrid contact lenses application as one of the modern contact correction methods in patients with ametropias of various genesis. Hybrid contact lenses consist of a rigid central optical part made of highly gas-permeable material and a flexible peripheral part made of hydrophilic material. These lenses combine the optical correction qualities of gas-permeable corneal lenses with the comfort and stable fit usually provided by soft contact lenses. Compared to gas-permeable corneal lenses, hybrid lenses are more comfortable; often have better centration and more stable fit on the eye. Hybrid contact lenses successfully correct both types of astigmatism: regular and irregular. This type of lenses is a good alternative method of contact correction for patients who place heavy demands in terms of the quality of vision.
