Hydrogels make modern contact lenses comfortable, breathable, and biocompatible.
Their high water content allows oxygen to pass through to the cornea, reducing dryness and irritation for extended wear.
Overview
Why Swelling and Degradation Matter:
A lens must maintain its shape, water content, and oxygen permeability over many hours of wear.
Uncontrolled swelling can distort vision, while degradation can weaken the lens or cause irritation.
Example Applications:
Daily disposable lenses with high water content
Drug-releasing therapeutic contact lenses
Extended-wear silicone hydrogel lenses
How GelTech Helps:
Carousel and LIMVA provide highly sensitive swelling and mass loss profiles of lens materials.
Polyscan 3D can visualize structural changes and micro-defects forming over time.
