AB - The number of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens materials is increasing rapidly. One of the most critical issues for acceptance of new materials is lens wettability. This paper describes techniques for assessing lens wetting characteristics while the lenses are worn on the eye, and relates each observation to the lens material properties or patient tear characteristics. This method of lens wetting assessment is intended to aid the practitioner in determining the optimal lens material for a patient, based upon assessment of the interactions inherent in the lens-eye system.
