How is DK calculated?

Dk is a measure of the permeability of a material. To relate this to the oxygen performance of a contact lens, Dk is divided by t, the thickness, usually taken at the centre of that lens. This gives a measure of oxygen transmissibility that shows the amount of oxygen that can pass through a contact lens in air.
