Description
Background: Five commonly used soft contact lenses in our clinic were studied for UVblocking characteristics. Two of the lenses are marketed for the UV -protective benefits. The purpose of the study was to compare the transmittance of UV in the recently released Acuvue Advance to other commonly used lenses. Methods: Five contact lenses were placed in a Beckman DU 640B Spectrophotometer to measure the UV transmittance. Results: Of the five lenses studied, the Acuvue lenses showed the most UV protection.
Conclusions: UV protection is important for our patients and should be a consideration when fitting contact lenses. |
