  • Title: Results with the Bausch and Lomb F3 series Soflens contact lens.
    Author: Sarver MD, Polse KA, Harris MG.
    Journal: Am J Optom Physiol Opt; 1977 Feb; 54(2):67-9. PubMed ID: 869008.
    Abstract:
    We wanted to determine whether the Bausch and Lomb F3 series Soflens contact lens increases the number of patients who can successfully wear Soflenses. Thirty-two patients (64 eyes) who could not successfully wear 12.5-mm-diameter B, F, J, or N series Soflenses were fitted with the 13.6-mm-diameter F3 series lenses. For 40 of the 64 eyes, the F3 series lenses were successfully worn. Use of this lens series clearly increased the number of patients who could be fitted with Bausch and Lomb Soflens contact lenses. For many patients, this flatter, larger lens centered better and improved vision and comfort compared with the best-fitting Soflens of the 12.5-mm-diameter series.
