The amount and time course of soft contact lens dehydration
Journal of the American Optometric Association
|March 1, 1982
Abstract:
As soft contact lenses are worn a significant amount of water is lost due to dehydration. This water loss affects the fitting characteristics of the lens on the eye as well as its oxygen transmission properties. Lens thickness is a major factor affecting the amount and time course of lens dehydration.
