Abstract

Slit scanning confocal microscopy (Tomey Confoscan P4) was used to evaluate the central cornea of 22 subjects who had been wearing rigid lenses on a long-term, daily wear basis. Anterior and posterior keratocyte densities appeared unaffected by rigid lens wear (P=0.10 and 0.34 for anterior and posterior keratocyte densities, respectively). Subjects with a previous history of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) lens wear showed a reduction in anterior keratocyte density (AKD) (P
