Contact lenses are small,
very thin optical discs that are designed to rest on
the cornea. They are held in place by a layer of tears
present between the contact lens and cornea. They are
used most frequently to correct errors of refraction
like myopia (short sight), hypermetropia (long sight),astigmatism(cylinder
power) & presbyopia.
No
touch fitting
Topography Assisted Contact
Lens Fitting:
The no-touch
technique of contact lens fitting wherein computerized
corneal topography is used to simulate the contact lens
fit on the eye and helps in deciding the lens parameters.
The contact lens can be ordered directly from these
data without the patient undergoing any trial.
