Comparison of Anterior Eye Conditions between Contact Lens Users and Non-Contact Lens Users

Abstract

Contact lenses are the invention of technological developments in the field of ophthalmology. Contact lenses were used to improve vision in the form of thin and clear plastic. The aims of this study were identified and compared the condition of anterior eye segments users and non-users of contact lenses students in Tasikmalay. A total of 58 students consisted of 24 female users and 24 non-contact lens users were involved in this study. The results showed that the conditions of superior and inferior eyelids for contact lens wearers were mostly in Grade 2 and non-contact lens wearers in Grade 0. Palpebra and bulb conjunctival conditions for contact lens wearers were mostly in Grade 2 and non-lens wearer contact at Grade 0; and corneal conditions in both groups were in Grade 0. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that the condition of the anterior eye segment of non-contact lens wearers is better than contact lens wearers. The use of a slit lamp is highly recommended for further research data collection.
