CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL CORNEAL SWELLING ACCOMPANYING THE WEARING OF BAUSCH AND LOMB SOFLENS® CONTACT LENSES

Abstract

Central and peripheral corneal thickness was monitored during the wearing of Bausch and Lomb SOFLENS® Contact Lenses. The results showed that a generalized and equal swelling occurred in the central and peripheral cornea. This generalized swelling explains the absence of significant spectacle blur and/or changes in corneal curvature. ®SOFLENS is a registered trademark of Bausch & Lomb, Inc.
