Optometry and Vision Science — the official journal of the American Academy of Optometry — has published a special August issue aimed at understanding and managing contact lens discomfort.
The issue was reportedly two years in the making and features 25 papers on the most current research surrounding contact lens discomfort. Topics include ocular allergy, inflammation, and biomarkers for contact lens discomfort; neural hypersensitivity as a contributor to contact lens discomfort; and a new "contact lens user experience" questionnaire that may aid in developing new contact lenses and helping patients to overcome barriers to successful contact lens wear.
