title: [A new soft contact lens of 2-component silicone].
abstract: Silicon lenses, noted for their flexible elasticity, were submitted for patent registration prior to HEMA lenses, and before practical experience was available. Favorable clinical trials remained undone for a long time. After preclinical tests with additively moistened silicons and a new hydrophilic coating, clinical evaluation was conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the american health authorities (FDA). Contact-lens centers in Germany and Switzerland participated in these tests. Statistical analysis was done on the results from 233 test-persons.
