Change in Risk Score and Behaviors of Soft Contact Lens Wearers After Targeted Patient Education.

Objectives: To determine if targeted education can influence the behaviors and scores of soft contact lens (SCL) wearers via the Contact Lens Risk Survey (CLRS).

Methods: This was a multicenter, prospective, case-control study. Cases were symptomatic red eye SCL wearers (age, 18-39 years), and controls were age , sex, and site matched.

The contact Lens risk survey to assess risk of soft contact lens-related inflammatory events.

Purpose: To test the Contact Lens Assessment in Youth Contact Lens Risk Survey (CLRS) scoring algorithm in soft contact lens (SCL) wearers presenting with SCL-related adverse events and healthy matched controls.

Methods: This prospective case-control study compared CLRS responses in SCL wearers presenting with symptomatic red eyes (Cases) with age-, sex- and site-matched healthy SCL wearers (Controls) at six locations across North America. Responses to individual questions from Cases and Controls were analyzed using either the Pearson, Mantel-Haenszel chi-square, or Fisher's exact test.

Assessment of a Novel Lens Surface Treatment for Scleral Lens Wearers With Dry Eye.

Objectives: To compare lens comfort and dry eye (DE) symptoms of DE scleral lens (SL) wearers fit with polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based surface-treated and untreated SLs. Dry eye signs, comfortable SL wearing time (WT), vision quality, and lens-related ocular surface changes were also assessed.

Methods: Twenty-one SL wearers with DE and SL discomfort were enrolled in a double-masked crossover study.
