i am doing CE on CL material and the question is what is human eye temp.?,i believe it is same has human body temp i.e. 36.8C

Any one with answer?

Thanks!

question is:

DK is greater at which temperature:

A)85

B)75)

C)65

D)55

What answer would you give,i have never come across such question before.

i think from what i can remember that as temperature increases dk will go up. therefore DK would be highest at 85 (degrees C) i dont think human eye is 36.8C its more around ~20C. this is the temp we use to verify a soft lens. (due to shape changes at different temps. hope that helps but answer is definetly in contact lens manual - judith morris.

Thanks Uttam.

Although...

As temperature rises, the ability of oxygen to dissolve in a liquid decreases. For example, cold water has more oxygen dissolved in it than hot water. Therefore wouldn't Dk be higher at lower temperatures?

its 34 degrees
