modern lenses appeared on the market, says general manager of laboratories contact lens division in denver. those lenses were made from a hard plastic called polymethyl methacrylate, or pmma, that allowed no oxygen to reach the area of the cornea under the lens. imagine sticking your glasses directly to your eyeballs--clear vision but discomfort and awkwardness. bausch and lomb introduced the first soft contact lens. this development signaled "a revolution in comfort to cosmetic contact lens the patient," says a materials scientist at the university. soft contact contacts rely on plastics lens called hydrogels, polymers that soak up a lot of water. the first hydrogel used for contacts was hydroxyethyl methacrylate, or hema. lenses of this material can hold 38 to 70 percent water by weight, which cosmetic contact lens makes the lens soft and flexible.

a few years ago, a collaborative effort contact by ciba vision, novartis in switzerland, and the cooperative research centre for eye research and technology in australia developed a new polymer called lotrafilcon a. it contains a modest 24 percent water yet allows six times as much oxygen to pass through as the best of the hema hydrogels do. lotrafilcon a consists of interspersed micrometer-size bits of two different plastics. one material, a hydrogel, lets water and ions reach the eye surface; the other, called fluorosiloxane, channels oxygen. the combination is as transparent as a conventional contact lens. the ability of a material to convey oxygen relative to its thickness is called transmissibility. lenses should have a transmissibility of at least 90 barrers for oxygen, according to researchers at the university of california, berkeley and indiana university in bloomington.
