Contact Lenses Improved
Haifa — Relief may be in
sight for wearers of contact
lenses' who complain about
blurry vision and eye irritation.
A• new material for soft contact
lenses, developed by researchers
at the Technion-Israel Institute
of Technology, is more transpa-,
rent than most soft contact
lenses, now available and will
further prolong.the wearing
time of extended wear lenses.
Many of the benefits of the
new material derive from the
fact that it very closely dupli-
cates properties of the human
lens, or cornea. -
This breakthrough in the field
of polymers — the molecular
structures which make up all
plastics — was engineered by
Dr. D. H. Kohn and Dr. Ruth
Silberman 'while working at the
Technion's Department of
Chemistry. Using a technique
called graft-polymerization, they
chemically modified a
conventionally-used plastic and
fused it onto a substance called
poly-vinyl alcohol. The txanspa- -
rency of the new material was
found to be greater than lenses
currently available and meas-
ured within five percent' of the
transparency of the - eye's own
lens. Researchers also found
that the' polyther's index of re-
' fraction — that is, the' angle at
which light is bent as it 'passes
through the cornee— was iden-
tical to that of the-human eye.
For-contact lensswearers, it is
important that an ample
amount of oxygen pass through
the lens' material to the cells in
the eye's surface, and that the
polymer's water content is suffi-
cient to keep the eye moist. The
Technion lens permits oxygen to
pass through to the eye at a rate
within the range of contact
tenses currently available, and
its water content exceeds con-
ventional extended wear lenses
by 13 percent.
Dr. Silberman predicts that
the price of the new lens will be
competitive because they can be
made by a process similar to
that of existing lenses.
