Hydrophilic lens effects on central and peripheral corneal thickness and corneal topography.
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.
