Brief Summary

"Comparison between Lathe Cut versus Cast Molding Soft Contact Lens Technique on Ocular Surface Integrity" investigates the impact of two different manufacturing methods on the health and integrity of the ocular surface.

Conditions

Ocular Surface Disease

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Corneal epithelial integrity

  This involves assessing the health and integrity of the outermost layer of the cornea, which can be done through optical coherence tomography (OCT)

  12 Months

• Ocular surface symptoms

  Utilizing standardized questionnaires or scales to assess symptoms such as dryness, discomfort, or irritation experienced by the subjects wearing the different types of soft contact lenses.

Interventions

Soft contact lens with lathe cut technique Lathe OTHER

athe cut technique Lathe cutting involves shaping a solid block of lens material into the desired form using precision machinery. This method allows for customized lens designs but may result in a less smooth surface compared to cast molding. Cast molding, on the other hand, uses a liquid monomer that is cured in a mold to form the lens. This technique typically results in a smoother and more uniform lens surface.

Participants in this arm would receive Cast molding soft contact lenses and would wear them according to the study protocol, also likely for a specified duration.The cast molding technique for soft contact lenses involves creating lenses by polymerizing a liquid monomer mixture within a mold that forms the desired lens shape. Here's a brief overview of the steps involved in the cast molding process
