A contact lens made from silicone rubber has been fitted successfully for extended wear in children. The lens has been used primarily with aphakic children, but it has also been tolerated by children with anisometropia, high myopia, and keratoconus. The lens can be handled like a hard contact lens and can be fitted by a variety of methods. The eye shows excellent tolerance of the lens and complications or failures to wear the lens have been due primarily to discomfort. After about a year of wear the lens surface can no longer be cleaned.
一种由硅橡胶制成的隐形眼镜已成功用于儿童的长期佩戴。该镜片主要用于无晶状体儿童,但也被屈光参差、高度近视和圆锥角膜儿童所耐受。这种镜片可以像硬接触镜一样操作,并且可以通过多种方法进行验配。眼睛对该镜片耐受性良好,佩戴镜片出现并发症或失败主要是由于不适。佩戴大约一年后,镜片表面就无法再清洁了。
