PURPOSE To compare the reliability and accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measured while wearing soft contact lenses (SCLs) using a non-contact tonometer (NCT), Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT), iCare rebound tonometer (RBT) and the Tono-Pen XL. METHODS Twenty-six healthy subjects were examined. The IOP was measured using NCT, GAT, RBT, and the Tono-Pen XL, while the subjects wore SCL...

Henna is very popular in the United Arab Emirates (UAE); it is part of the culture and traditions. Allergy to natural henna is not usual; however the addition of para-phenylenediamine (PPD) to the natural henna increases the risk of allergic contact dermatitis. The objectives of the study were to identify the presence and concentration of PPD in henna available in UAE. Fifteen henna salons were...

PURPOSE We present an analysis of the corneal oxygen consumption Qc from non-linear models, using data of oxygen partial pressure or tension (P(O2) ) obtained from in vivo estimation previously reported by other authors. (1) METHODS: Assuming that the cornea is a single homogeneous layer, the oxygen permeability through the cornea will be the same regardless of the type of lens that is availabl...

Oxygen permeability and water diffusion characteristics were determined for several types of hydroxyethyl-methacrylate hydrophilic contact lenses and a silicone contact lens material. A twoto fourfold difference in the diffusion rates for capillary flow of water was found among the different hydrophilic lenses. Oxygen permeability studies demonstrate that the hydrophilic lenses are capable of t...

2.4. Pressure Transducer The Endevco model 8507-C2 pressure transducer (figure 10) was used for the present measurements. It is a high sensitivity piezoresistive, circular-deflection-type, pressure transducer that has a nominally flat frequency response from 0-70 kHz with a rated sensitivity of 130 mV/psi and a full scale output of 300 mV. The transducer contains an active four-arm strain gage ...

Abstract In this paper the generalized model of contact two plan bodies that roll and slide or just is presented. The analytical solution correct distribution pressure in realized presence normal compressive force, which realizes contact, as well force pair a tangential force. This can be used on sprocket teeth due to sliding rolling itself gear pole. results obtained have been experimentally c...
