Purpose: To compare refractive surgery outcomes in patients with different periods without contact lenses prior laser surgery. Materials and methods: Patients included in this study underwent myopic keratorefractive laser surgery between January 2005 and December 2014. Patients were divided into three groups based on the duration of time passed free of soft contact lens wearing prior to final preoperative evaluation and surgery (<24 h, 1–3 days or >3 days). Spectacle wearers served as a control group. Postoperative safety index, efficacy index and % of eyes within 0.5 D of the four groups were compared. A general linear model was used to compare main outcomes while adjusting for age, gender, preoperative measurements, and procedure type (LASIK vs PRK). Results: Overall, 19,747 eyes were included. Soft contact lenses were worn by 42.3% (<24 h: 4.8%, 1–3 days: 18.5% and >3 days: 19.0%) and spectacles by 57.7% prior to surgery. In the PRK group, after adjusting for differences in baseline variables, the <24-h group had a significantly lower efficacy index than all the other groups. There were no significant differences between groups in terms of % eyes within ±0.5 D of intended correction ( p = 0.55) or safety index (0.20). In the LASIK group, after adjusting for differences in baseline variables, there were no significant differences between groups in all primary outcomes. Conclusion: Soft contact lenses should be removed at least 24 h prior to final preoperative evaluation and refractive surgery, especially for patients undergoing PRK.

The goal of this retrospective case series is to demonstrate the effectivity of combination low-dose atropine therapy with peripheral defocus, double concentric circle design with a center distance soft contact lenses at controlling myopia progression over 1 year of treatment. Included in this series are 3 female children aged 8–10 years with progressing myopia averaging −4.37 ± 0.88 D at the beginning of treatment. Their average annual myopic progression during the 3 years prior to therapy was 1.12 ± 0.75 D. They had not attempted any myopia control treatments prior to this therapy. The children were treated with a combination of 0.01% atropine therapy with spherical peripheral defocus daily replacement soft lenses MiSight<sup>®</sup> 1 day (Cooper Vision, Phoenix, AZ, USA). They underwent cycloplegic refraction, and a slit-lamp evaluation every 6 months which confirmed no adverse reactions or staining was present. Each of the 3 children exhibited an average of 0.25 ± 0.25 D of myopia progression at the end of 1 year of treatment. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first published study exhibiting that combining low-dose atropine and peripheral defocus soft contact lenses is effective at controlling children’s moderate to severe myopia progression during 1 year of therapy.
