The effect of lens wear on refractive index of conventional hydrogel and silicone-hydrogel contact lenses: a comparative study

Purpose: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the ability of four silicone-hydrogel contact lenses (galyfilcon A, balafilcon A, lotrafilcon A and lotrafilcon B) to retain their equilibrium water content before and after wear, through measurements of refractive index and compare with that of a co...
