4 O b j e c t i v e s To review definitions, conditions and techniques in the use of therapeutical bandage contact lenses. To introduce advantages of using therapeutical bandage contact lenses of different materials and attributes. To provide an understanding of the pathophysiology, manifestations and appropriate management of patients with corneal disorders.

5 D e f i n i t i o n s Corneal disorders : Any kind of disturbances or diseases of the cornea, who interfere with the normal physiology of the human corneal tissue.

6 D e f i n i t i o n s Therapeutical bandage contact lenses : A bandage lens (also called a therapeutic lens) is a contact lens used primarily for a therapeutic or treatment purposes. Bandage lenses should be fitted so as to minimally disturb corneal physiology. (Definitions by CIBA Vision)

64 F i t t i n g t r i c k s Choosing the right attitudes : - Low evaporation rate for corneal protection. - High evaporation rate for epithelial dehydration. - High ionic and drug binding as a drug reservoir for antibiotics, hyperchlorid, cycloplegics, steroids or NSAID (Drops or ointment). Take attention to preservatives and epinephrine!

65 F i t t i n g t r i c k s Choosing the right attitudes : - Avoid high deposit rates because of microbial binding. - High O 2 -Transmissibility for speed corneal healing and enhanced epithelial cell regrowth. - Moderate to high stiffness/modulus for corneal surface modeling.

70 P r o g n o s i s Short term prognosis : Therapeutic bandage contact lenses are useful to protect the convalescent cornea from negativ environmental influences. They are helpful to protect the patient from discomfort and pain. They are usable as a drug deposit with care.

71 P r o g n o s i s Middle and long term prognosis : Therapeutic bandage contact lenses are useful to protect the long term distroph cornea from negatives environmental influences. They are helpful to modeling the mild irregular corneal surface for better vision. They are helpful to protect the patient from discomfort and pain. They can make happy patients!

72 C o n c l u s i o n Used with a closed monitoring on a co- management base between the Ophthalmologist and the Optometrist, therapeutic bandage contact lenses are a good alternative to conservatives methods.
