Changes in corneal curvature and subjective refraction of soft contact lens wearers.
Changes in corneal curvature and subjective refraction were found to occur in some wearers of N & N lathe-cut soft contact lenses. These changes appear to be the result of any one of a number of factors, including a relatively steep lens-cornea relationship, over-wearing of lenses and inadequate blinking habits.
