## Abstract This study investigated the water contact angles of five commercially available silicone hydrogel contact lenses (Acuvue Advance, Acuvue Oasys, Focus Night & Day, O~2~ Optix, and PureVision) using sessile drop and captive bubble techniques. The only lens type that showed a significant d
Deposits on soft contact lenses of high water content were investigated morphologically and chemically and compared with those on conventional soft contact lenses of poly(2hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The material of the lenses examined in this investigation was the crosslinked copolymer of methyl me
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
The surface chemistry and topography of cast-molded Etafilcon-A and doubled-sided lathed Etafilcon-A soft contact lenses were determined to be significantly different. The variations in surface chemical and morphologic structure between the two lenses were the result of contact lens manufacturing me
