Responses of Contact Lens Wearers to a Dry Eye Survey
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine ocular symptoms that have been associated with dry eye among contact lens wearers. A dry eye questionnaire was administered at random to 83 contact lens wearers at a private practice in Toronto, Ontario. On average, the most frequent ocular symptom among those queried was dryness and the least frequent was soreness. There was a significant shift (p < 0.0001; paired t-test) toward increased symptoms in the evening compared with the morning. Blurry, changeable vision was also a frequent and noticeable symptom. However, most subjects reported that their ocular symptoms were not severe enough for them to stop work or hobbies or to remove their contact lenses. Our results show that the symptoms of ocular dryness and discomfort are relatively common among contact lens wearers, and that they worsen toward the end of the day. These findings suggest that lens care practitioners should examine their patients who wear contact lenses toward the end of the day to best identify symptomatic patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
