Abstract(s)
Embora as lentes de contacto de silicone hidrogel para uso extensivo serem as mais
utilizadas devido às suas vantagens, isto é, de permitir mais oxigénio mas com menor
quantidade de água e de proporcionar uma correcção visual adequada e de forma a prescindir
do manuseamento durante um período de tempo considerável, existem alguns efeitos
adversos associados ao uso extensivo das lentes de contacto deste tipo de material.
Devido à situação descrita anteriormente, é importante ter o conhecimento das causas
que originam estas ocorrências como também dos sinais e sintomas para precaver e solucionar
da melhor forma o problema.
Com este intuito, nesta revisão bibliográfica serão descritos os efeitos adversos
associados ao uso extensivo de lentes de contacto de silicone hidrogel, bem como os seus
sinais e sintomas, os tratamentos e algumas experiencias realizadas.
Although silicone hydrogel contact lenses for extensive wear are the most widely used because of its advantages, that is allowing more oxygen with a minor amount of water and to provide a proper visual correction to waive form and handling over a period considerable time, there are some adverse effects associated with extensive use of contact lenses of this type of material. Due to the situation described above, it is important to have knowledge of the root causes of these events as well as signs and symptoms to avoid and solve the problem in the best way. For this purpose, this bibliographic review will be described adverse effects associated with the extensive wear of silicone hydrogel contact lenses, as well as signs and symptoms, treatments and carried out some experiments.
