Recommended guidelines for evaluating the performance of hydrogel lenses are developed based upon the physiological reponse of the cornea.
Clinical techniques and guidelines are discussed to manage manifestations of edema induced by hydrogels. Emphasis is on the pathogenesis of folds in Descemet's membrane (striate keratopathy) accompanying vertical striae that have been found to occur horizontally as well as vertically.
An analysis of tear film breakup time (BUT) and the Schirmer tear test in 40 optometric students demonstrated that BUT cannot be used as a tear quantity indicator.
