Abstract

Objective: To compare differences in postoperative pain, foreign body sensation, photophobia, and lacrimation between balafilcon A and samfilcon A bandage contact lenses (BCLs) in the early stage following pterygium surgery.

Methods: A total of 66 eyes with pterygium conjunctival grafts fixed with sutures were included in this study, comprising 32 eyes fixed with samfilcon A and 34 eyes fixed with balafilcon A. Demographic data, postoperative corneal epithelialization time, and subjective discomfort, such as pain (using the visual analog scale [VAS]), were recorded and compared.

Results: Significant differences were noted in VAS scores between the first day (P<0.01) and the second day post-surgery (P=0.03), suggesting that patients experienced less pain after wearing samfilcon A. However, no significant differences were observed in corneal epithelialization time, VAS score before lens removal, foreign body sensation, photophobia, lacrimation, insomnia, and demographic data between the two groups. Finally, only two balafilcon A patients required nonsteroidal analgesics.

Conclusion: After pterygium surgery, samfilcon A BCL was associated with lower pain levels compared with balafilcon A BCL and could assist in reducing postoperative discomfort in patients and concurrently improving patient satisfaction.

Samfilcon A 和 Balafilcon A 绷带隐形眼镜在减轻翼状胬肉手术后症状方面的比较。

目的比较翼状胬肉手术后早期阶段，balafilcon A 和 samfilcon A 绷带隐形眼镜（BCL）在术后疼痛、异物感、畏光和流泪方面的差异：记录并比较了人口统计学数据、术后角膜上皮化时间以及疼痛等主观不适（使用视觉模拟量表 [VAS]）：结论：翼状胬肉手术后，手术第一天的 VAS 评分有显著差异：翼状胬肉手术后，与巴拉菲康 A BCL 相比，samfilcon A BCL 的疼痛程度更低，有助于减轻患者的术后不适，同时提高患者的满意度。
