Activity Outline
In the seventh in a series of articles summarising the key findings of the BCLA CLEAR publication, Wendy Sethi offers an overview of the section relating to contact lens properties and their interaction with the eye.
This BCLA CLEAR report explores the interactions between lens materials, care products, and the tear film, looking at the biochemistry and compatibility of the various elements involved in successful contact lens wear.
Learning Objectives
- The relevance of oxygen transmissibility in contact lens materials
- How the wettability of contact lenses is assessed
