Early deposition trends on group I (Polymacon and Tetrafilcon A) and group III (Bufilcon A) materials.

One of the problems with hydrophilic contact lenses is that they are susceptible to spoilage. This study investigated the degree of spoilage associate with lenses of various surface changes during the early stages of wear and the effect of surfactant cleaning of lenses at this stage. Ten patients wore a control HEMA lens on one eye and either an ionic (Bufilcon A) or non-ionic (Tetrafilcon A) lens on the other for one week and used a peroxide …
