Induced by Nearpoint plus Lenses

Monocular Estimate Method Retinoscopy was used twice to measure the accommodative posture of 211 pre-presbyopic subjects. It was first measured with their farpoint lenses in place, and second, with the farpoint lenses and nearpoint plus lens additions (PLA) in place. The PLAs utilized for the second MEM were based on the binocular cross cylinder findings. The findings from the MEM-twice procedu...

The effect of polar copolymers in protein absorption on contact lenses on 2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA)

For the purpose of increasing the permeability to oxygen and equilibrium water content in contact lenses, polar copolymers with nonionic monomers such as 2-hydroxyethle methacrylate(HEMA) Is used. By adding the polar monomers to (HEMA), the permeability to oxygen and equilibrium with water content is increased and also the absorption of proteins on lens surface is changed. In this research, the...

The use of contact lenses by Army air crew.

Introduction The use of soft contact lenses in flight by RAF aircrew has recently been the subject of a trial at the RAF Institute of Aviation Medicine (lAM). The trial is complete but the report is yet to be published. The Army is the only service to permit some pilots to fly wearing contact lenses. Currently 7 Army pilots are allowed to do so. Because of the recent interest in this aspect of ...
