Effects of Wearing Contact Lens on MV (Microvibration) in Rabbits

Abstract

An electrophysiological study was made of the effects of wearing contact lens on the MV (microvibration) with the use of an average response computer (ATAC-201).
1) MV response induced by photic stimulation comprises of MV₁, MV₂, MV₃, MV₄ and MV₅ components. These components showed a facilitation in the form of an increase in their amplitude following wearing contact lens.
2) Discussion was made of a poss ible increase in excitation in the reticular formation and the hippocampus regarding the facilitated MV thus induced.
