title: [The influence of Poly-HEMA and silicone contact lenses on corneal thickness (author's transl)].
abstract: The influence of permanent wear contact lenses (highly oxygen permeable silicone and less oxygen permeable highly hydrophilic Poly-HEMA) on corneal thickness was evaluated in 22 volunteers. Poly-HEMA lenses provoked a highly significant increase in corneal thickness not correlated with the fitting technique, while no significant variation in corneal thickness was observed under silicone lenses.
