title: Hydrophilic lens effects on central and peripheral corneal thickness and corneal topography.
abstract: Hydrophilic lens wearing causes an almost evenly distributed central and peripheral corneal thickness increase which  is virtually eliminated when gas of 100% oxygen tension is passed over the anterior corneal surface. There is little corneal topography change associated with this thickness increase.
