  • Title: 'Silicone rubber' lenses in aphakia.
    Author: Ruben M, Guillon M.
    Journal: Br J Ophthalmol; 1979 Jul; 63(7):471-4. PubMed ID: 465422.
    Abstract:
    Tesicon, one of the commercially available 'silicone rubber' lenses, was used in the correction of aphakic patients. In 74% of cases the lenses were considered successful for a daily wear regimen by the patient. Furthermore, a small number of patients could wear this lens without interruption for 3 to 6 days at a time. Despite this good acceptance by patients, corneal problems (mainly staining) and lens problems (dry surfaces) were frequently encountered.
