Outcome following surgery for contact lens-induced XXXX .

@entity1 @entity1736 @entity1714
PURPOSE: To assess the outcome of surgery in @entity1 with a history of contact lens wear. DESIGN: Retrospective, comparative interventional case series. METHODS: A total of 419 @entity1 underwent @entity1736 surgery during a 1-year period (2005-2006) at Moorfields Eye Hospital. Those included in this study had a diagnosis of @entity1736 and history of contact lens wear. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The outcome was considered a success if the following criteria were met: 1) a margin reflex distance of between 3 and 5 mm, 2) an interlid difference of 1 mm or less, and 3) absence of redo surgery. RESULTS: Thirty @entity1 (7.2%) were identified with a history of contact lens wear and were matched against a control group of 46 @entity1 . The mean margin-reflex distance at presentation was 0.5    2.4 mm. This equated to a @entity1736 graded as mild (>= 1.5 mm) for 32% of @entity1 , moderate (0.5-1.0 mm) for 29%, and severe ( <=0.0 mm) for 39%, with similar proportions in the control group (36% mild, 39% moderate, and 25% severe). The power of the refractive correction (p < 0.005) and the age of the @entity1 (p < 0.05) were directly related to increased severity of @entity1736 at presentation. The surgical outcome of the @entity1736 correction was successful in 72% of @entity1 , which was significantly lower than in the control group (89%) (p < 0.005). CONCLUSIONS: The severity of contact lens-related @entity1736 was related to the degree of @entity1714 and the age of the @entity1 but not to the duration of contact lens wear. There was a higher level of failure and requirement for redo surgery in @entity1 with contact lens-related @entity1736 compared with matched controls.
