Thickness measurement of hydrogel lenses.
The thickness of hydrogel lenses was measured in air with a Radiuscope and in saline with a specular microscope. The measurements are in good agreement, showing that drying is not a problem with air measurement. With a simple modification to the Radiuscope, the thickness measured is satisfactory for calculating optical power and oxygen transmissibility.
