The scientific data and physiological benefits of Hyper Dk/t will be thoroughly explained including corneal epithelial changes and, in particular, psuedomonas adhesion to epithelial cells and risks of corneal ulceration. The second hour will discuss the full range of new designs using larger diameters, intra-limbal lenses, mini to semi-scleral lenses, and scleral lenses.
