    Abstract:

    AIM: To discuss the effect of wearing customized curvature soft corneal contact lens to dry eye degree of flight attendants.

    METHODS: Eighty cases(160 eyes)of flight attendants from China Southern were divided into two groups: control group 40 cases(80 eyes)wearing ready-made Bausch soft corneal contact lens(curvature 8.4); the experiment group 40 cases(80 eyes), wearing Bausch soft corneal contact lens with customized curvature. Tear break-up time(BUT), Schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt)and fluorescein(FL)staining were as dry eye evaluation index. The results was statistically analyzed.

    RESULTS: BUT, SⅠt average shortening value of the experimental group were less than that of the control group, there was statistical significance(P<0.01). FL staining positive increase, the number of experimental group was fewer than that of control group, with statistical significance(P<0.05).

    CONCLUSION: Wearing customized curvature soft corneal contact lens can prevent the flight dry eye more effectively than fixed curvature product.
