Contact lenses represent a widely utilized form of vision correction with more than 140
million wearers worldwide. Although generally well-tolerated, contact lenses can cause …

For 30 years, contact lens research focused on the need for highly oxygen-permeable (Dk)
soft lens materials. High Dk silicone hydrogel contact lenses, made available in 1999, met …

Contact lens-related complications are common, affecting around one third of wearers,
although most are mild and easily managed. Contact lenses have well-defined anatomical …

Purpose To assess the efficacy of 2 forms of oral long-chain omega-3 (ω-3) essential fatty

Examining the role of the contact lens material, design, and the care system is fundamental
to understanding contact lens discomfort (CLD). However, a systematic review that tries to …

Contact lens materials have undergone significant changes over the past 20 years,
particularly with respect to the introduction of silicone hydrogel materials. Whilst this …

Eye‐care practitioners typically associate ocular inflammation during contact lens wear with
serious complications such as microbial keratitis; however, more subtle mechanisms may be …

This paper outlines changes to the ocular surface caused by contact lenses and their degree
of clinical significance. Substantial research and development to improve oxygen …

There are about 35 million contact lens wearers in North America, and about half of them are
symptomatic of dryness and discomfort, more commonly experienced at the end of the lens …

The availability of the confocal microscope over the past decade has allowed clinicians and
researchers to refine their understanding of the physiological and pathological basis of the …
