With the use of an average response computer (MEDIAC) a study was made of the effects of wearing contact lenses on the late components of afferent average evoked potentials. The results obtained were as follows.
1) The late componen ts such as N6, N7 of the average evoked potentials in the cerebral cortex due to the sciatic nerve stimulation were inhibited by wearing contact lenses.
2) The late component of HN6 of the average evoked potentials in the hipp ocampus due to the sciatic nerve stimulation were inhibited (when it was induced from P3) or facilitated (when it was induced from P5) by wearing contact lenses.
