Abstract

Despite the current market popularity of silicone hydrogel contact lenses, conventional hydrogel lenses still represent a significant proportion of the overall contact lens market. Data gathered from annual UK contact lens fitting surveys over the past 13 years indicate that 64% of hydrogel lenses prescribed during this period were of low/medium water content (< or =60% water). Whereas, in the past, practitioners would choose the water content of a hydrogel lens to meet specific clinical needs, this choice appears today to be largely governed by product availability.

摘要

尽管目前硅水凝胶隐形眼镜在市场上很受欢迎，但传统的水凝胶隐形眼镜仍然占据了整个隐形眼镜市场的很大一部分。过去 13 年中，英国每年进行的隐形眼镜配适调查数据显示，在此期间开处的水凝胶隐形眼镜中，有 64%的含水量较低/中等（<或=60%的水）。而过去，医生会根据具体的临床需求选择水凝胶隐形眼镜的含水量，而如今这种选择在很大程度上受产品供应的影响。
