Effect of Various Contact Lenses on Intraocular Pressure and Corneal Biomechanical Properties: A Comprehensive Review
The connection between corneal biomechanical properties (BMP) and intraocular pressure (IOP) has been observed
with various type of contact lenses, like soft, rigid, and scleral contact lenses. This study investigated how soft, rigid gas-
permeable (RGP), and scleral contact lenses affect corneal biomechanical properties (BMP) and intraocular pressure (IOP). A
literature search was carried out using following main topics and related subtopics: corneal BMP, RGP contact lens, soft contact
lens, scleral contact lens, the correlation between corneal BMP and contact lens, and the relationship between IOP and contact
lens. The literature search includes 60 publications from PubMed, Google Scholar, ResearchGate, Crossref, and Academia
search engines. It has been seen that some of the corneal BMP and IOP are being affected by soft contact lenses and RGP, but
it depends on the duration of lens wear. Scleral lenses do not have any negative impact on BMP or IOP.
