RE: Contact Lenses (An Overview)

Interesting. I did not know so many different kinds of materials are used to manufacture contact lenses. I wonder if the material you choose have anything to do with the your purpose behind using them. Moreover, are the microbial contaminants more common in certain kinds of materials vs others?
The materials do have a function to play in terms of comfort because some absorb more oxygen than others. Also, the more thin a contact lens the more comfortable it is to wear it and the extent of thinness a manufacturer may achieve has a lot to do with the material too. I personally have not come across any articles that looked at the material properties of a contact lens and microbial contamination however i may say that they may not be linked in anywhere. Microbial contamination is mostly attributed to the lifestyle and environment of the wearer. Thanks for reading, it a pleasure
