Abstract
The most fundamental premise of RGP materials has been that they reduce the corneas dependancy for oxygen on the lid/lens tear pump. Yet, evidence that this is really happening has been largely indirect, eg. through the nonoccurences of visible oedema, or a lesser degree of swelling measurable by pachometry. But what part of corneal relief from hypoxia does come from lens permeability, and what part comes from the lens pump.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
