Oxygen Tension Under a Contact Lens During Blinking—a Comparison of Theory and Experimental Observation

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the measurements of oxygen tension in a corneal contact lens during blinking with theoretical predictions.
• Measured oxygen tension in the tear reservoir of a corneal contact lens on a human eye.
• Conducted observations over a series of blink frequencies.
• Compared laboratory results with theoretical models.
• Oxygen tension levels fluctuated based on blink frequency.
• The experimental observations aligned with the theoretical predictions of oxygen tension stability.
