Impact of Air Exposure Time on the Water Contact Angles of Daily Disposable Silicone Hydrogels

Impact of Air Exposure Time on the Water Contact Angles of Daily Disposable Silicone Hydrogels

The wettability of silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lens (CLs) is crucial for the pre-lens tear film stability throughout the day. Therefore, sessile drop and captive bubble setups were used to study the advancing and receding water contact angles (CA) of four SiHy materials: narafilcon A (TE), seno...
