Research summary
The purpose of this study is to assess whether end of day comfort improves with the application of comfort-enhancing drops in symptomatic contact lens wearers.
This will be an approximate 20-30 subject, randomised, single-masked, dispensing study used to compare the treatments. Symptomatic contact lens wearers will wear new (habitual brand) contact lenses in conjunction with each of the two different treatments for two weeks each. The order in which the subjects experience the treatments will be random.
Participants will be existing soft contact lens wearers recruited on the basis of having healthy eyes apart from needing correction for shortsightedness. Participants will be screened for being symptomatic contact lens wearers i.e. they will have a comfortable wearing time 2 hours less than the average wearing time or experience symptoms of late day dryness and only those deemed symptomatic will be dispensed lenses in the study.
