Abstract:·AIM:To evaluate the effects of super-thin corneal contact lens on LASEK.·METHODS:Thirty cases 57 eyes were divided into 2 groups randomly.The super-thin contact lens(NEW VISION,Korea)with 0.03mm central thinness was used in the experimental group,while the common contact lens(Bausch lomb,USA)with 0.14mm central thinness was used in the control group.The irritation,healing of corneal epithelium in 5 days postoperatively,haze and uncorrected visual acuity in 6 months postoperatively were compared.·RESULTS:Less irritation was found in the experimental group in 1 day and 5 days postoperatively,and better recovery of corneal epithelium was made in the experimental group in 5 days postoperatively.However,there was no difference in haze formation and uncorrected visual acuity in 6 months postoperatively.·CONCLUSION:Super-thin corneal contact lens can significantly reduce the early post-operative symptoms and promote healing of corneal epithelium.·
