5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  In a cross-sectional study, 42 young adults who had worn daily disposable omafilconA hydrogel lenses since childhood were compared with age-matched nonwearers.

• 2

  After an average of 11 years of lens wear, corneal epithelial and stromal thickness did not differ significantly between groups across the measured regions.

• 3

  Endothelial cell density and hexagonality were comparable between groups, but cell-size variation was significantly greater in the superior and superonasal regions among lens wearers.

• 4

  Researchers reported no ocular adverse events among contact lens wearers during the preceding 10 years.

• 5

  The cross-sectional design, small sample, limited measurement area, and use of one lens type and replacement schedule limit the study’s generalizability.
