Purpose: This study has been compared the degree of corneal edema arising from the material of the lens after wearing the recommended wearing time for the contact lens.
Methods: For the study, 43 adults of 77 eyes who did not use drugs and have not any disease participated. Three types of lenses including narafilcon A, HEMA, and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lenses were used. Central corneal thickness was measured before and after 8 hours from wearing lenses using Pentacam. The degree of corneal edema was determined by the difference before and after wearing.
Results: The average corneal edema of narafilcon A, HEMA material lens, and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens were 2.36±6.15 μm(Mean±SD), 23.61±10.71 μm, 18.25±8.64 μm, respectively. The central corneal thickness after wearing narafilcon A was not statistically significant with the central corneal thickness before wearing the lens. Central corneal thickness before and after wearing HEMA material lens and silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens were statistically significant.
Conclusions: The amount of corneal edema induced by silicone hydrogel material regular replaceable lens was no statistically significant difference to the amount of corneal edema induced by HEMA material lens, but there was significant difference to narafilcon A. Therefore, it is judged to be careful not to exceed the recommended wearing time depending on the composition of the contact lens material.
