Clinical significance of contact lens related changes of ocular surface tissue observed on optical coherence images

BCLA CLEAR - Effect of contact lens materials and designs on the anatomy and physiology of the eye

“…Conjunctival staining induced by the lens edge is rarely symptomatic or accompanied by hyperaemia and, therefore, does not necessarily require a change of lens. An exception might be instances of significant conjunctival indentation which has been imaged by optical coherence tomography in soft lens wearers [148][149][150][151]. Clinically, this is revealed by pooling of fluorescein in circumlimbal indentations corresponding to the positioning of the lens edge.…”
