Abstract
The corneal response [in humans] of a group of the affected eyes of prospective monocular aphakic wearers of contact lenses, as compared with that of their normal fellow eyes, was studied. A reduced corneal sensitivity and endothelial cell density but identical center corneal thickness and corneal O2 uptake were shown.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
