✦ Synopsis

Methods

N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and hydroxypropyl methacrylate were obtained from Fluka A.G. (Germany) and used after distillation under vacuum." Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EDMA) was also obtained from Fluka AG. (Germany) and was used without any purification.

This article provides direct evidence that the rate of evaporation from the anterior surface of a hydrogel contact lens is related to the bulk water transport within the contact lens, analogous to diffusion-controlled evaporation. The evaporative flux of water from the anterior surface of a contact
