After a long time working our eyes need rest.

I’m not personally affected, but I think it’s rather important that I trust the provider of my contact lenses…I have a hard enough time worrying about rats in the KFC!

Thanks for the post.

Many techniques are used. This could generate conflicting data due to the variety of techniques, species of bacteria, incubation times and temperatures, and mediia used to evaluate both worn and unworn cntact lenses. Susceptability to bacterial attachment is of interesdt for extended wear lemses as are Dk/t and corneal swelling. Comments Dr.?

If, so what are the acceptance criteria? Thank you.

Ironic how silicone oil is detrimental in this case after it has become a tool of the trade for detached retinas.
