Good morning,
I hope that you all can help me out. I am doing some studies on contact lens and artificial corneas. I need to know what biomaterials are typically used for such applications.
I understand that the important characteristics include mechanical properties, oxygen
permeability, transparency and surface wettability.
If anyone can help me to learn the most commonly used materials that would help me greatly.
Thank you in advance, Aldo [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]
