Description
Both center thickness and specific gravity play an integral role in the fit of a rigid gas permeable contact lens. A pilot study was organized to investigate the affects of center thickness and specific gravity on the fit of the fluorosilicone acrylate lenses, Fluoroperm
60 (specific gravity 1.15) and Boston RXD (specific gravity 1.28). Center thickness was varied in each lens (0.09, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, 0.21). Results showed no significant difference in fit between the two lenses with change in center thickness. |
