BCLA CLEAR - Contact lens wettability, cleaning, disinfection and interactions with tears

Contact lens materials have undergone significant changes over the past 20 years, particularly with respect to the introduction of silicone hydrogel materials. Whilst this development addressed hypoxic issues, other important areas relating to contact lens success, notably comfort, require further research.Contact lens wettability remains a crucially important part of biocompatibility. Contact lenses can be made more wettable by incorporation of...
