Cameron Johnston (2006, June). Soft contact lens use alters outcomes of LASIK eye surgery. Medical Post, 42(20), 61. Retrieved March 7, 2008, from Research Library database. (Document ID: 1065471191).
Patient who had previously wore contacts had a better outcome after surgery in the means of contrast and glare conditions. Patients who wore glasses could be over treated. This study was based on 131 patients who wore contacts and 25 who wore glasses. Some of the contacts were the hydogel-type, which are left in place while sleeping. Soft contacts will result in thinner corneas. Soft contacts must not be worn two weeks before surgery. Thin corneas can cause a thin stromal bed which can lead to keratoectasia.
