The oxygen transmissibilities (Dk/L) of a set of 48 contact lenses made from 8 different materials were measured by 4 laboratories. The L/Dk measurements from each laboratory were compared and correlated. Samples which were not masked with a fixed front surface aperture during measurement were corrected for edge effects. This paper shows that provided L/Dk is calculated for each lens using the same technique and Dk is derived using a graphical method of calculation, similar results can be obtained by all laboratories. However, the agreement was less good for materials of Dk greater than 70 x 10(-11) (cm2/s) (ml O2/ml x mm Hg).
