Contact Lenses as the Treatment of Myopia

Contact lenses become the only way of treatment in myopia in the following cases:

1. When there is disparity of spectacle power correction between the two eyes, i.e. if the difference of power between the two eyes exceeds -3, ordinary spectacle glasses cannot work. If they are worn the wearer sees double (diplopic).

Contact lenses are the only way to deal with problem of diploid.

2. When cataract is removed from one eye and the other eye is quite normal (one-sided cataract removal).

3. Very high myopia with astigmatism of irregular kind (conical cornea).
