  2. List of soft contact lens materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_soft_contact_lens...

    The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines soft contact lenses as: made of soft, flexible plastics that allow oxygen to pass through to the cornea. Soft contact lenses may be easier to adjust to and are more comfortable than rigid gas permeable lenses. Newer soft lens materials include silicone-hydrogels to provide more oxygen to your ...

  3. Effects of long-term contact lens wear on the cornea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term...

    Long-term contact lens use can lead to alterations in corneal thickness, stromal thickness, curvature, corneal sensitivity, cell density, and epithelial oxygen uptake. . Other structural changes may include the formation of epithelial vacuoles and microcysts (containing cellular debris), corneal neovascularization, as well as the emergence of polymegethism in the corneal endoth

  4. Oxygen permeability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_permeability

    The earliest models of soft contact lenses, based on hydrogel material, had a level of oxygen permeability of around 6–8 Dk/t. [1] Polymacon , the material used in the first hydrogel contact lenses in some countries in the 1960s and approved by the FDA in the U.S. in 1971, has a Dk of 9 .

    Orthokeratology lens. Orthokeratology, also referred to as Night lenses, Ortho-K, OK, Overnight Vision Correction, Corneal Refractive Therapy (CRT), Accelerated Orthokeretology, Cornea Corrective Contacts, Eccentricity Zero Molding, and Gentle Vision Shaping System (GVSS), is the use of gas-permeable contact lenses that temporarily reshape the cornea to reduce refractive errors such as myopia ...

    CooperVision develops, manufactures, and markets a range of contact lenses. CooperVision produces both spherical contact lenses and specialty lens products. [17] America's Best, Walmart, Costco, Visionworks, Pearle Vision, Target Corporation and Vision Source private label contacts are manufactured by CooperVision. [citation needed]

  9. Rigid gas permeable lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_gas_permeable_lens

    Rigid gas-permeable (RGP) lens. A rigid gas-permeable lens, also known as an RGP lens, GP lens, or colloquially, a hard contact lens, is a rigid contact lens made of oxygen-permeable polymers. Initially developed in the late 1970s, and through the 1980s and 1990s, they were an improvement over prior 'hard' lenses that restricted oxygen ...
