Twenty patients with corneal disease were treated with a recently released soft lens specifically designed for use as a bandage. Patients wore their lenses continuously 24 hr a day. The results were similar to those of previous studies conducted with other lens designs. Improvement was frequent (10 of 12 cases) for bullous keratopathy and corneal graft, burn, or neuroparalytic lesion; limited (1 of 4 cases) for dry-eye syndrome; and absent (4 cases) for irregular cornea and vernal keratoconjunctivitis. No difficulties were found with the concurrent use of medication.
