  • Title: Contact lenses: optimal vision--sub-optimal carrier?
    Author: Holden B, de la Jara PL.
    Journal: Optom Vis Sci; 2007 Apr; 84(4):365-7. PubMed ID: 17435521.
    Abstract:
    The development of silicone hydrogel contact lenses with high oxygen permeabilities is a major step forward in vision correction. This advance in contact lenses material technology provides breakthrough levels of oxygen to the cornea. However, there are still important issues yet to be addressed by researchers, practitioners, and industry. Factors such as adequate correction for all refractive errors, microbial keratitis, comfort, and suitable lens care and lens biocompatibility are discussed from the authors' perspective.
