Exchange of Tears under a Contact Lens Is Driven by Distortions of the Contact Lens [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2014 We studied the flow of the post-lens tear film under a soft contact lens to understand how the design parameters of contact lenses can affect ocular health. When a soft contact lens is inserted, the blinking eyelid causes the lens to stretch in order to conform to the shape of the eye.

Rethinking contact lens aftercare [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 2017 The evolution of contact lens technology and clinical practice over the past three decades has been remarkable, with dramatic improvements in material biocompatibility, better lens designs and care systems, and more flexible and convenient modalities of wear. However, our approach to the aftercare examination has remained conservative, with the general
