BANDAGE
- Description
Bandage contact lenses serve several purposes in the management of corneal disorders. Perhaps most commonly, they are used in the place of a pressure patch for pain relief, but there are numerous other applications for corneal protection and drug delivery. Although one must carefully weigh the relative risk of applying a contact lens to an eye that is already mechanically or physiologically compromised, safer and more feasible therapeutic applications of contact lenses have been made possible by advancements in contact lens materials.
