CHAPTER XXVIII Therapeutic and Diagnostic Applications of Contact Shells and Contact Lenses Introduction It is tempting to use contact shells and lenses as a mechanical means for protecting injured ocular tissues and for maintaining therapeutic agents in contact with these. Ocular protection by glass prostheses generally predates the use or contact shells and glasses for this purpose. The literature abounds with com- munications on such uses, which seems to have been facilitated from the moment the tolerance of contact shells was better assured. Unfortunately the long-term results of various trials have rarely been reported, even in the most respected treatises and articles published after 1920. Add to this, the diagnostic uses including contact shells for radiological localization and contact glasses de- signed for the examination of the ocular media. Contact shells were also used as an ocular (eyepiece) in a Galilean telescopic system for chorio-retinal lesions. Note too that the majority of authors are however con- tent to list indications without presenting a significant number of clinical examples. (1) After the 1950s and with the introduction and marketing of corneal diameter contact lenses, corneo-scleral contact shells progressively lost their optical indications. On the other hand, their usefulness for medical indications was confirmed and documented. This owed much to the initiative and drive of Frederick Ridley. The timing of the non-refractive use of contact shells requires that two chronological periods be distinguis- hed: the years between 1920 and 1950 and the second half of the 20th Century. 266 1 - Contact Shells and Therapeutic Corneo-scleral Lenses in Use between 1920 and 1950 Introduction For this period, during which contact shells were used essentially with the aim of correcting refractive errors, we should distinguish the following contact shells that were used in other ways: 1/ Contact shells used in the presence of ocular and palpebral pathologies. -

Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney (1844-1920) The English physicist Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney (1843-190?) was one of the founders of modern photography. His interest in the theory of light, colour photography and spectroscopy spurred his investigations into colour vision.
