Examines oxygen tension in contact lenses with and without tears, indicating minimal effects of tear layers.
Oxygen tensions were calculated under two different oxygen‐permeable, flexible contact lenses (daily wear and extended wear) both with and without consideration of tear layers (but without tear exchange). Tear layers do not have significant effects on precorneal oxygen tension.
