Abstract

The article discusses the impact of contact lens solutions on comfort. According to the author, studies have shown that solution-induced corneal staining (SICS) is not linked with increased risk of microbial keratitis (MK), but associated with decreased comfort. There are many factors affecting contact lens discomfort which include lens thickness profile, the physical fitting relationship to the eye and material properties. The author notes that silicone hydrogen lenses offer more comfort.
