The drawback of silicone hydrogel lenses is their tendency for the lens to collect more debris and protein deposits from your tears. When lenses dry out, they allow less oxygen to reach the cornea, for this reason silicone hydrogel lenses were introduced. 2016.

In comparison, lotrafilcon B has a higher water content of 33 percent and a Dk of 110 units. This material now accounts for approximately 55% of all soft lens fits worldwide and 62% in the United States.7 Its increased oxygen transmissibility promised a reduction in the rate of corneal infections, but research shows the risk of microbial keratitis is similar regardless of lens material studied.8-12 In fact, several studies show that SiHy materials doubled the relative risk for infiltrative events.13-16 Studies also suggest that older generation SiHy materials provided only a minimal increase in comfort over conventional hydrogel (CH) materials.5,17 This was due to the incorporation of siloxane groups into SiHy lenses, which made them more hydrophobic and stiffer than CH materials, but led to issues related to poor lens wettability and mechanical complications.18-20 These mechanical complications included mucin balls (Figure 1), corneal erosions (Figure 2), superior epithelial arcuate lesions (Figure 3), epithelial flaps and CL-associated papillary conjunctivitis.21-26 The hydrophobic nature of certain SiHy materials tends to deposit high levels of certain lipids and increased denatured protein.27,28 Hence, several practitioners still choose to fit CH materials. Over the last decade, CL manufacturers have provided a variety of scleral contact lens (ScCL) designs that have a wide range of applications. Subjects wearing the somofilcon A 1 day test lens for one week, either randomized as the first or second pair. Schein O, McNally J, Katz J, et al. 2013;54:TFOS20-36.5.

Recent research shows a 32% to 42% reduction in myopia using orthokeratology (OK) lenses.39-41 Research also finds partial correction using OK lenses is effective, with high myopes of 6.00D or more partially treated by -4.00D, showing a 76% reduction in myopia progression over one year when compared with spectacle wear.42 Children fitted with a dual-focus multifocal OK lens design in one eye and a conventional OK lens in the fellow eye showed short-term changes to the eye in the multifocal OK lens wearing eyes.43, Concentric and aspheric multifocal designs can slow myopia progression.44 Concentric bifocal lenses, which have a center distance design surrounded by concentric zones of near and distance powers, reduce myopia progression and axial length in children with esophoric fixation disparities, according to investigators.44 Aspheric designs also show reduced myopia progression.45 Use of a center-distance aspheric multifocal design can reduce myopic progression by 50% and axial length by 29% when compared with a single vision wearing group.46, Dual-focus designs and peripheral plus powered aspheric designs also show myopia reduction; however, debate about the visual quality reduction caused by the induction of positive spherical aberration when using this approach persists.47-50. Jones L, Brennan NA, Gonzalez-Meijome J, et al. Nicole has worked as an optometrist in private practice for 10 years prior to taking a position in contact lens research at the Institute for Eye Research (IER) almost 10 years ago.

Further studies are warranted to understand the impact of these new technologies on CL comfort. Silicone hydrogel has high oxygen permeability, so silicone hydrogel contact lenses allow much more oxygen to pass through the lens and reach the cornea.

Follow the links below to read the other articles from our 41st annual Contact Lens Report: Even with healthy growth in the number of contact lens (CL) options on the market, one particular burden continues to dog the industrycontact lens discomfort (CLD).1-5, According to the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society (TFOS) report on CLD, the only CL material-related factor that demonstrates correlation with CLD is coefficient of friction.6 However, until researchers agree upon an industry-standard methodology to measure friction of CL materials, this remains a difficult area to study. Newer soft lens materials include silicone-hydrogels to provide more oxygen to your eye while you wear your lenses. For instance, Air Optix plus with HydraGlyde (Alcon) incorporates two technologiesSmartShield Technology and HydraGlyde Moisture Matrixwhich provide a combination of deposit protection and longer-lasting lens surface moisture.
