True Story of Poly(2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate)-Based Contact Lenses: How Did It Really Happen
Substantia, 2022 Soft hydrogel contact lenses represent the most famous and commercially successful application of poly(2‑hydroxyethyl methacrylate). The scarcely crosslinked network of this hydrophilic polymer finds its use also in many other fields, be it in (bio ...

Hybrid contact lenses for the correction of primary and induced ametropias
Российский офтальмологический журнал, 2020 The review presents the data on the use of hybrid contact lenses (HCL), a modern method of contact correction of ametropias of diverse origins. A HCL has a central rigid optical zone made of highly gas-permeable material and a flexible peripheral part ...

Hydrophilic Contact Lenses ‐ Their Effect on the Cornea [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Optometry, 1972 Central corneal thickness and curvature were measured before and after the wearing of hydrophilic lenses. There was a consistent increase in central corneal thickness, while the corneal curvature was not significantly altered.

CORNEAL CHANGES FROM HYDROPHILIC CONTACT LENSES [PDF]
Optometry and Vision Science, 1973 Corneal thickness and corneal curvature were measured before and after the wearing of hydrophilic contact lenses and it was consistently found that the thickness increased while the curvature virtually remained unaltered. On removal of the lenses the cornea returned to its normal thickness within two hours.
