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 influence of the composition of soft contact lenses on the achievement of a significant
increase in drug loading and control release capability was evaluated. Four types of timolol …

Tear exchange beneath a contact lens facilitates ongoing fluid replenishment between the
ocular surface and the lens. This exchange is considerably lower during the wear of soft …

Purpose This review summarises the way in which mechanical property measurements
combined with clinical perception have influenced the last half century of materials evolution …

The report of this subcommittee concerns the impact of contact lenses (CLs) on the ocular
surface, with a particular emphasis on CL discomfort (CLD). We define the ocular surface, its …
