(copying this from my posts to s.m.v and o.d.wire) I've refit quite a few people into silicone lenses this year, and am thinking I should have paid more attention to some of the complaints about these lenses I've heard off an on. Specifically, I've done quite a few Oasys lenses. Lately I've seen more than my share of keratites, and I'm starting to think it might be the lens material. For example, I refit a gal who was happy with focus monthlies with Oasys a couple of months ago. Last month she came in with 3+ generalized spk o.u. 3+ conj. redness o.u., and lots of discomfort. 10 days later after Tobradex q.i.d. she was fine, so we threw out the case, started over with a fresh pair. She's back. Same problem. Using optifree. So now I'm blaming the materials. I've also seen a lot of limbal staining, loss of adaptation and what not . Oh yeah, and I did have one case of fusarium; an Oasys patient using renu with moistureloc (on her own). But then lots off success, too. Any thoughts from the professionals or any patients who might have recently switched?
thanks
