ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To determine whether patient factors (pre-fitting patient's data) before reverse-geometry lens (RGL) use could be predicting factors for the increase in visual acuity after RGL use.METHODS:
The authors reviewed out patient records of 805 eyes of 423 patients wearing RGLs from March 2003 to May 2009. The relationship between patient factors on UVA before wearing a RGL examined at follow-ups and the IVA after wearing a RGL were analyzed.RESULTS:
The spherical refractive errors and the cylindrical refractive errors showed statistically significant results (p 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
The refractive error and the corneal astigmatism may be strong predictors of UVA and IVA after RGL use.
