[Central corneal endothelial changes in contact lens wearers].

Report on the appearance of opacities in the central area of the cornea after long-term wearing of HEMA lenses. These changes are at first small curved spots and can develop into marked reticulate opacities at a late stage. All of the patients were long-term contact lens wearers and all used cleaning solutions containing chlorhexidine. Since early symptoms such as 'red eye' or 'blurred vision' are absent in most of the cases the patients fail to consult their doctors in time. The damage appears to be irreversible and early diagnosis is therefore important.

[Differential diagnosis and therapy of gigantopapillary conjunctivitis].

If wearers of contact lenses present with secretion and incompatibility of the contact lens, simple ectropionation of the upper eyelids often is sufficient to diagnose a giant papillary conjunctivitis as the cause. This form of papillary hypertrophy affecting wearers of both hard and soft contact lenses is morphologically similar to vernal conjunctivitis, which should be considered in cases of corneal ulceration resistant to therapy. The histological difference between the two forms of papillary hypertrophy is that contact lens-induced giant papillary conjunctivitis shows remarkably less eosinophilic infiltration of the papillary stroma. Both forms of papillary hypertrophy seem to be based on a complex immunologic reaction.

[Topographic-anatomic position of the posterior chamber lens].

The present paper reports on a macroscopic and scanning electron microscope examination of a human cadaver eye with implanted posterior chamber lens (Simcoe type). The actual position of the lens haptics after planned sulcus ciliaris fixation is illustrated.

[Limbal and perilimbal changes in wearers of HEMA lenses].

Incompatibility of HEMA contact lenses leads to changes in the conjunctiva and cornea which frequently appear in the region of the corneal limbus. From the limbus toward the sclera one can differentiate four stages according to the clinical picture: (1) enlargement of the pericorneal capillary network; (2) pronounced pericorneal injection right to the rim of the contact lens; (3) border-like edema in the area actually in contact with the lens; (4) additional haemorrhage in this area. From the limbus toward the cornea three typical changes occur: (1) peripheral edema of the cornea; (2) neovascularization of the cornea; (3) pannus formation.

[Possibilities of examination on soft contact lenses (author's transl)].

Choosing typical lipid deposits on hema-lenses, the possibilities of examination are demonstrated. Apart from the macroscopic examination different microscopic methods are shown, allowing an examination of lenses without producing artefacts. Sections through hema-lenses give exact information about the relation between the deposit and the lens material.
