I've got a gentleman who's worn Acuvue's EW for years with not problems except the usual pannus and redness. So I switched him to Night and Day's. He's using "Blink" Lubricant Eye Drops.
He comes into today with no visual complaints, but when I look in his eye, he has a ton of dimple veiling. What's up with that?
I'm going to try switching the drops to something else...but that's not something I've seen before in soft lenses. Maybe it's a fitting problem. Any thoughts?
Kevin,
ReplyDeleteIt's possible that what you saw were mucin balls rather than true dimple veiling. Read this article:
