Confocal microscopic observations of stromal keratocytes in soft and rigid contact lens wearers.

Abstract

The change in the KD was greater in CL wearers than in volunteers with no history of CL wear and also greater in SCL wearers than in RGP lens wearers.

Analysis of the KD by confocal microscopy may be a useful method for evaluating the effect of CL wear.
