GM-3
GM-3 Contact Lens Material
The GM-3 contact lens material is known for its exceptional moisture retention properties. Manufactured by MPG&E, contact lenses made of GM-3 have an average water content of 58%. This moisture content ensures a comfortable wearing experience throughout the day.
Comparing the water content of GM-3 with other materials, we find that it falls within the mid-range. Some materials, such as Aerofilcon A and Alphafilcon A, have higher water content, while others like Balafilcon A have lower water content. GM-3 strikes a balance between moisture retention and other desirable properties, making it a popular choice among contact lens wearers.
List of contact lenses made of GM-3:
- ECCO Soft 58 Toric: Yearly toric lenses made by MPG&E, Moisture/Water content: 58%, Oxygen permeability: 18
- ECCO Soft 58: Yearly spherical lenses made by MPG&E, Moisture/Water content: 58%, Oxygen permeability: 21.5
