Influence of Tear Protein Deposition on the Oxygen Permeability of Soft Contact Lenses
Purpose. To investigate the effect of tear protein deposition on the change in oxygen permeability (Dk) of soft contact lenses (SCL). Methods. Three hydrogel lenses (polymacon, nelfilcon A, and etafilcon A) and two silicon hydrogel lenses (lotrafilcon A and balafilcon A) were investigated. Etafilcon A lenses were incubated in artificial tear solution for 1, 6, 12, and 48 h, whereas the other SC...
متن کاملOxygen permeability of soft contact lenses in different pH, osmolality and buffering solution.
AIM To determine the effect of pH, osmolality, and buffering system on the oxygen permeability (Dk) of soft contact lenses. METHODS Two hydrogel lenses (nelfilcon A and etafilcon A) and 2 silicone hydrogel lenses (lotrafilcon A and balafilcon A) were used in the study. These lenses were incubated in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) and borate-buffered saline (BBS) solutions adjusted by 0.8 pH ...
متن کاملPermeability of hydrophilic contact lenses.
Oxygen permeability and water diffusion characteristics were determined for several types of hydroxyethyl-methacrylate hydrophilic contact lenses and a silicone contact lens material. A twoto fourfold difference in the diffusion rates for capillary flow of water was found among the different hydrophilic lenses. Oxygen permeability studies demonstrate that the hydrophilic lenses are capable of t...
متن کاملCorneal epithelial permeability during extended wear of disposable contact lenses versus daily wear of soft contact lenses.
AIMS The corneal epithelial permeability during extended wear of disposable contact lenses was compared with that during daily wear of soft contact lenses. The study was performed to verify whether the extended wear of disposable contact lenses would result in a higher permeability value than the daily wear of soft contact lenses. A higher permeability makes the cornea more vulnerable for bacte...
