Research paper thumbnail of Effect of fluorine content of RGP contact lens polymers on tear film, lens wettability, and deposit resistance

Precomeal and prelens tear film, form, and stability, and lens wettability, were assessed in vivo by a battery of 21 tests including wide-field diff use light biomicroscopy. Scanning electron micrographs were taken of the kns surfaces and the area covered with deposits measured with a digitizer. The results demonstrated that tear film, lens wet&&y, and deposit resistance did not vary significantly with fluorine level or cleaning. This indicates that maximum efficacy had been reached for these clinical performance criteria and was not concentration dependent for fluorine level.5 greater than 20%.

The techniques are as follows: 1. A high magnification technique of photography using the bio-microscope and crossed polarised light, allows the measurement of tear film layer thickness's and on the surface of rigid contact lenses and 'in-vivo receding contact angle'. 2. A low magnification technique of photography allows the recording and the analysis of the superficial layers of the tear film over a wide area of the eye and contact lens surface. 3. A clinical instrument has been designed for the routine clinical observation of the tear film. It permits the visual measurement of the tear film break-up time (BUT) without the use of fluorescein. 4. A unique technique of in-vivo photography of the mucous coverage of the corneal epithelial surface and contact lens surfaces is presented. Such techniques improve the understanding...

Prospective, observational case series. One hundred ninety-eight neonates and infants in the newborn nursery. The Keeler Tearscope Plus (Keeler Instruments Inc., Broomall, PA) was used to evaluate lipid layer thickness by interference fringe biomicroscopy and directly to measure noninvasive tear breakup time (NIBUT). The thickness was classified from level 1 (open meshwork-very thin) to level 9 (colored fringe pattern-very thick). Noninvasive tear breakup time in seconds and classification level of lipid layer thickness. The mean lipid layer classification for all newborns was 8.3 +/- 0.9, with no significant difference between genders. The thickest classifications (levels 8 and 9) were found in 83.3% of all infants. At 3 and 6 postnatal months, all infants studied had a lipid layer classification of 9. Mean NIBUT was 32.5 +/- 5.2 seconds (range, 17.6-48.5 seconds) and was not significantly different whether stratified by race, postconceptional age, or birthweight. However, although NIBUT was longer in males at birth (35.1 +/- 4.2 seconds versus 29.4 +/- 4.5 seconds; P < 0.001), it was equal in both genders at 3 and 6 postnatal months. In the first 6 postnatal months, the lipid layer of the tear film is much thicker than in adults. The NIBUT in newborns is prolonged compared with adult values. This thick lipid layer in infants provides stability that may help prevent the thin aqueous layer from evaporating.
