Effects of Hyperbaric Conditions on Corneal Physiology with Hydrogel Contact Lenses

摘要

Four chamber subjects wearing various hydrogel contact lenses underwent hyperbaric exposures to 150 Feet Sea Water (FSWG) with a bottom time of 30 minutes for a total of 24 lens trials. No displacement of the lenses was reported, but bubbles formed in twenty-five percent of the trials. They were not, however, noticed by the subjects and did not significantly affect vision or corneal physiology.
