Transient changes in refractive error and corneal tomography after 24-h continuous monitoring of intraocular pressure patterns with a contact lens sensor

ConclusionTwenty-four-hour monitoring with a CLS resulted in significant increases in the myopic refractive error and corneal central steepening and midperipheral flattening. Although these changes are transient and do not negate the clinical merits of the CLS, clinicians should be aware of these potential adverse events. Three-dimensional evaluation of corneal deformation with anterior segment optical coherence tomography is a powerful tool for assessing and improving the safety, tolerability, and accuracy of CLS devices.
