Optimal time following fluorescein instillation to evaluate rigid gas permeable contact lens fit [PDF]
Contact Lens and Anterior Eye, 2015 To examine the optimum time at which fluorescein patterns of gas permeable lenses (GPs) should be evaluated.Aligned, 0.2mm steep and 0.2mm flat GPs were fitted to 17 patients (aged 20.6 ± 1.1 years, 10 male). Fluorescein was applied to their upper temporal bulbar conjunctiva with a moistened fluorescein strip.
