“…54 Photophobia scores decreased from the first to the third postoperative day with BCLs. 42 Foreign body sensation was less with lotrafilcon B on the first and third postoperative day compared with that with other BCLs. 55 Nine studies discussed the effect of BCL on epithelial defect.…”

“…Eight studies observed that epithelial defect with lotrafilcon B, lotrafilcon A, and senofilcon A reduced considerably from the first to third postoperative day. 9,35,37,[40][41][42][43] The reepithelialization time for most BCLs was 3 to 4 days, 33,40,43,54 and the percentage of eyes that went through complete reepithelialization ranged from 70% to 83% on postoperative day 3. 33,35,40 The epithelial defect was similar between PureVision1 and PureVision2 lenses.…”

This study systematically reviewed the performance of bandage contact lenses (BCL) such as lotrafilcon A, lotrafilcon B, senofilcon A, balafilcon A, and comfilcon A as postoperative treatment in different ocular surgeries. A systematic search of English and Chinese databases (from inception to December 2021) was conducted for studies reporting the efficacy of BCLs after ocular surgeries. Postoperative symptoms, corneal healing, and visual outcomes were studied. Overall, 38 studies were identified. Bandage contact lens was applied as a postoperative aid in corneal refractive, cataract, and vitrectomy surgeries. Most studies were on photorefractive keratectomy. Reduced postoperative symptoms were observed within 4 hr to 3 days, whereas re-epithelization of the cornea and healing was complete within 3 to 7 days after ocular surgeries except for vitrectomy. In a vitrectomy, greater comfort and improved corneal epithelium were observed on the seventh day after surgery. An improvement in dry eye symptoms was observed at 7 days with considerable benefits observed after 1 month of cataract surgery. These findings indicate that BCLs are effective for improving postoperative symptoms and facilitation of early visual rehabilitation with a wear time of 8 hr to 7 days depending on the type of ocular surgery.

“…2 Most of these new studies analyzed the differences regarding pain score and reepithelization zone within different contact lens materials, such Balafilcon A, Samfilcon A, Senofilcon A, or Lotrafilcon B. [3][4][5][6] The objective of this work was to update the new studies after the publication of the systematic review. 1 We searched in PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus, from June 2018 to August 2021.…”

“…Regarding the publications that compared different materials, Yuksel et al found that reepithelization occurred faster with Samfilcon A against Lotrafilcon B. 3 Moreover, Samfilcon A obtained better pain score than Lotrafilcon B on postoperative day 1, with no difference on day 3. Bagherian et al compared 2 very similar BCLs, Balafilcon A with an oxygen permeability of 101 and 130 Dk/t.…”
