Abstract
Soft contact lens (SCL) surfaces were imaged with atomic force microscopy (AFM). High-resolution images of unworn SCL were obtained under nearly physiological medium. We present images of surfaces of collagen bandage lens under dry or aqueous conditions and of SCL of different water content and fabrication processes. Roughness parameters were determined. AFM studies of surfaces of SCL are expected to provide useful information on the hydrogel surfaces.
