  • Title: The use of continuous-wear silicone contact lenses in the optical correction of aphakia.
    Author: Dahl AA, Brocks ER.
    Journal: Am J Ophthalmol; 1978 Apr; 85(4):454-61. PubMed ID: 655225.
    Abstract:
    Forty-two aphakic eyes of 37 patients were fitted with oxygen-permeable silicone rubber corneal contact lenses. Thirty-four eyes had the lens after two to 11 months of continuous use. Visual results, comfort, and patient acceptance were good, but the deposition of mucus on the lenses remains a problem.
