Continuous Wear of Hydrophilic Contact Lenses

Monocular Infantile Cataract

“…1 These 2 problems were addressed with the introduction of vitrectomy instrumentation and extendedwear contact lenses that could be safely used in an infant. [2][3][4] Only in the last few decades have infants with monocular cataract been considered treatable. 2,4 It is likely that most infants are treated today with contact lenses, though recently intraocular lens (IOL) implants have been introduced for this treatment.…”

Synthetic Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications

“…Although the water content of these hydrogels is fairly low (^25%) they demonstrate excellent mechanical properties. Poly(glyceryl methacrylate) hydrogels exhibit a considerably higher equilibrium water content than P-HEMA gels (28,(60)(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68)(69)(70)(71). Therefore it has often been thought that this material might show a higher degree of biocompatibility than P-HEMA.…”
