  • Title: Enhancement of the sensitivity of the peripheral visual field of aphakic eyes by a soft contact lens correction.
    Author: Krohn DL.
    Journal: Trans Am Ophthalmol Soc; 1979; 77():308-17. PubMed ID: 545828.
    Abstract:
    Goldman perimetric field examination was done on 42 glaucomatous eyes, with aphakic spectacles and a soft lens correction. There was a 79% +/- 20% SD overall average enhancement of field size with the soft lens, but the difference varied linearly as a direct function of the initial spectacle field size. There appears to be a significant advantage to the patient in the use of soft lens correction for serial peripheral field measurements.
