Central and peripheral corneal swelling accompanying the wearing of Bausch and Lomb SOFLENS contact lenses.

Central and peripheral corneal thickness was monitored during the wearing of Bausch and Lomb SOFLENS contact Lenses. The results showed that a generalized and equal swelling occurred in the central and peripheral cornea. This generalized swelling explains the absence of significant spectacle blue and/or changes in corneal curvature.
