Forty-one patients were treated with soft bandage lenses for various types of corneal pathology. These patients have been monitored over a two-year period. Comfort was consistently achieved with cases of bullous and exposure keratopathies. It was found that the Warner-Lambert Softcon lens gave better protection in patients with VII nerve palsies than the Bausch & Lomb SOFLENS contact lens. However, little difference was noted between the two types of lenses when treating other corneal diseases. It was also found that topical medications, with the exception of steroids, caused no complications.
