    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmic optics
    • Biomaterials science

    Background:

    • The selection of the basecurve is a critical parameter in the design of hydrophilic contact lenses.
    • There is ongoing debate regarding the precise importance of basecurve selection in lens performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the interplay between basecurve selection and lens thickness in hydrophilic contact lens design.
    • To identify factors influencing basecurve (bearing-relationship) predictability.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of design parameters in hydrophilic contact lenses.
    • Investigating the interaction between basecurve and lens thickness.

    Main Results:

    • Basecurve predictability is subtly influenced by its interaction with lens thickness.
