  • Title: Rigid contact lens base curve constancy between wet and dry lens storage conditions.
    Author: Snyder C, Daum KM, Campbell JB.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1990 Mar; 61(3):184-7. PubMed ID: 2335705.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to investigate dry storage of rigid gas-permeable contact lenses as an alternative to wet storage. This study evaluated the constancy of lens base curve between the two storage methods for lens materials that spanned the spectrum of oxygen permeability values. The differences found in lens base curve between wet and dry storage for any lens material evaluated did not reach a level considered to be clinically significant, although differences in average base curve constancy did exist among the lens materials. Base curve change did not increase with increasing lens material oxygen permeability value (Dk).
