Mathematical analysis calculates hydration effects on lens parameters, suggesting unpredictability in material properties.
A transformation matrix is derived for the purpose of calculating the changes in soft contact lens parameters when hydration occurs. The polymerization process may result in lens material which is not isotropic and therefore does not yield predictable reproducible changes when hydration occurs.
