Corneal Swelling
measured in microns using the Optical Low Coherence Reflectometry (OLCR) Pachymeter. This pachymeter gives corneal thickness measurements to the accuracy of 1 micron (µm)
Time frame: after 8 hours of lens wear
Limbal Redness
grade scale of 0 to 4, where 0=None, 1=Trace, 2=Mild, 3=Moderate, 4=Severe; reported as an average grade.
Time frame: after 8 hours of lens wear
Endothelia Blebs
0 to 100% of area; measured as a percentage of corneal area with blebs.
Time frame: after 20 minutes of lens wear
