Abstract

Corneal sensitivity was measured with the Cachet-Bonnet aesthesiometer in control group of 24 people with 24 eyes and in 36 people with 56 eyes who had worn daily wear soft contact lenses for various amount of years. The sensitivity in the control cornea of the normal eyes was 59 +/- 4mm and decreased gradually by duration in myopic patients with daily wear soft contact lenses. And corneal sensitivity in old aged group was lower than that in young aged group.
