Although literature on CL history is extensive, there is limited information on the history of CL care products, especially in Japan. This review uses advertisements from the Journal of the Japan Contact Lens Society from 1959 to 2023 to trace the evolution of these products. The early HCL care primarily involved simple cleaning with dishwashing liquids because of the robust nature of polymethyl methacrylate lenses. Advertisements for care products became more prevalent with the introduction of RGP lenses that are more prone to dirt and deposit buildup. The first significant advertisements for HCL care products appeared in 1968, with notable products highlighting advancements in cleaning, rinsing, and storing solutions. The introduction of soft contact lenses in Japan in 1972 necessitated new care methods, such as boiling disinfection. Over the years, the market saw the introduction of various multipurpose solutions and specialized cleaning agents, although the number of advertisements for these products has declined since the late 1990s. Economic factors and changes in the CL industry have influenced the advertising trends observed in the journal. Despite the decline in market share for RGP lenses, they remain essential for specific conditions like keratoconus, some corneal disorders with irregular astigmatism, and moderate to high astigmatism. This review underscores the ongoing need for effective CL care products and the role of advertisements in documenting their history.</p>","PeriodicalId":50457,"journal":{"name":"Eye & Contact Lens-Science and Clinical Practice","volume":"50 12","pages":"522-526"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11593975/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142958273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It discusses the origins and evolution of orthokeratology from polymethymethaccrylate lenses worn during the day to its current prescribing of highly permeable, innovative reverse-geometry designs worn only while sleeping. Technological advances in corneal topography, lens design, lens materials, and manufacturing have facilitated growth of orthokeratology to a precise and predictable procedure. More recently, significant interest in orthokeratology has been stimulated by its efficacy in slowing axial elongation in myopic children. Safety of children wearing contact lenses while sleeping has been an ongoing concern. The potential of serious complications exists, but long-term studies and clinical experience have shown that risks of those events can be minimized with strict compliance with lens cleaning, disinfection, and hand hygiene. Because no correction is required during waking hours, patients using orthokeratology report higher vision-related quality of life, less activity restrictions, and more comfortable eyes compared with spectacles or contact lenses worn during the day. The future growth of orthokeratology will be fueled by the prescribing of orthokeratology as a modality to slow axial elongation and an alternative modality to spectacles, traditional contact lenses, and refractive surgery to correct refractive error.</p>","PeriodicalId":50457,"journal":{"name":"Eye & Contact Lens-Science and Clinical Practice","volume":" ","pages":"517-521"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142299994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
