title: An analysis of arcuate staining with the B&L SOFLENS. Part I.
abstract: A survey of 100 of our patients wearing Bausch & Lomb hydrophilic lenses shows that 38.5 per cent demonstrate corneal staining. The type of corneal staining that we are concerned with is epithelial, superficial, arcuate and usually located peripherally in an area between four and eight o'clock.
