A comparison of different rigid contact lenses: edge thicknesses and contours.
The edge thickness and contour of rigid lenses is an important factor in lens comfort and acceptance. In this study the edges of two CAB lenses, a PMMA-silicone combination lens, a pure silicone lens had standard PMMA lenses are evaluated by molding the lenses. Considerable variation in thickness and contour of the peripheral portion of the lenses were found.
