Abstract

Abstract: : Purpose:Analysis of abberations present in a distorted cornea via laceration injury, and possible correction methods to increase visual acuity. Methods:Fitting contact lenses of different optical designs and evaluation of their effectivity on improvement of best visual acuity. Results:Variables in BVA dependant upon contact lens design. Conclusions: Visual acuity affected by corneal lacerations can be improved by neuralization of irregualr optics by the lacrimal lens formation allowed by the Orion XL-Therapeutic Contact Lens design. Wavefront analysis can assist in determing the source and degree of corneal aberrations

Keywords: contact lens • optical properties
