<strong>ARVO</strong> 2013 Annual Meeting Abstracts by Scientific Section/Group - <strong>Cornea</strong>structure were able to be identified that were not seen with the staticmethod. Future studies on contact lenses biofouling should use nonstaticmethodologies to more accurately mimic the in vivoenvironment.Commercial Relationships: Jean T.

Measurements included corneal anterioroptical coherence tomography (SS-1000, Tomey), wavefrontaberrometry (KR-1W, Topcon), subjective refraction, visual acuity(VA), visual clarity with visual analog scale (VAS). Study lenseswere made by molding method and were consisted of 6 types, inwhich asymmetrical power distribution (2D, 4D, 6D, 8D, 10D, 12D)was created to correct vertical irregular astigmatism. Based on thetopography and aberrometry data, the type of lenses was selected andfitted to the subjects. Evaluation of the on-eye performance of thelens was carried out, including wavefront aberrometry (4mm pupil,root mean square), over-refraction, VA, visual clarity with VAS.Results: Monocular visual performance with a Si-SCL improvedfrom -0.03±0.13 to -0.08±0.08 LogMAR in VA (p
