Changes of symptomatology, tear film and ocular surface integrity one week during Somofilcon-A and Omafilcon-A lens wear.

Purpose: Clinicians play a key role in prescribing contact lenses that best suited for fitting which materials had an impact on ocular surface parameters. The present study aimed to evaluate the impact on symptomatology, tear film dynamics and ocular surface integrity of a silicone-hydrogel (Somofilcon-A) and a hydrogel (Omafilcon-A) lens before and after wearing for one week in contact lens neophyte participants.

Methods: A Somofilcon-A and Omafilcon-A were randomly fitted to one or other the eye on an initial group of 28 participants.
