We present the importance of contact lenses correction in prevention of visual impairment development in patients with high ametropias (amblyogenic refraction disorders namely hyperopia, myopia and astigmatism). We present retrospective review of our results and literature on application of contact lenses in different refractive disorders. Continuous wear with silicone hydrogels represents a breakthrough for these cases and some illustrative case studies are given. Fitting of soft, contact lenses can be used for therapeutic treatment of aphakia, anisometropia, myopia, hyperopia, esotropia, irregular astigmatism, and nystagmus. Cosmetic custom designs are available for the treatment of aniridia, albinism, amblyopia, and corneal disfigurement. The visual deficit in amblyopia can be reduced in some cases solely by fitting contact lenses, without the need for occlusion therapy. Other uses of contact lenses are reviewed including: correcting motor deviations, occlusion, and infantile onset nystagmus. Based on our experience correction of high refraction disorders we present positive results of amblyopia prevention and treatment. Contact lenses are more satisfactory than spectacle lenses in the management of ametropias and amblyopia in regard to cosmetics, comfort and treatment compliance.
