Eye Contact Lens. 2013;39(1):115-124. The interaction between SiHy lens materials and lens care systems has gained much attention in the CL research community during the past decade. The degree of ...

A recent review article 1 has asserted that the preferred material for daily disposable lens (DD) wear is silicone ... brand is a hydrogel, with very many successful wearers. The three main things ...

The first decision to consider here is the material of the contact lens; should you fit a hydrogel or silicone hydrogel (SiHy) soft contact lens, or would a rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens ...

Australian and global prescribing trends are broadly consistent. Contact lens fitting trends this century can be characterised as: soft lenses – significant increase in silicone hydrogels, daily ...

Contact lenses consisting of silicone have some features that provide a healthy environment for the eye. These lenses are designed to allow as much as five to ten times the amount of oxygen to pass ...
