| Summary: |
The purpose of the paper
was to determine possibilities and effectiveness of
application of piggy back system in keratoconus and
choosing the best soft contact lens to meet the demands
of the system. 335 patients were examined (511 eyes),
including 131 women (163 eyes) and 204 men (348 eyes).
Retrospective method involved patients with chronic
corneal erosion and symptoms of intolerance of hard
contact lenses. It was found out that application of
piggy back system is the best therapeutic method in
cases of chronic corneal erosion and it improves comfort
of wearing lenses. Sof Lens 66 proved to fulfill the
assumed criteria best. Application of piggy back reduces
opacity within keratoconus top and it prevents or delays
necessity of penetrating keratoplasty. |
