Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) after 5 years of contact lens wear
The MPOD will be assessed at a single visit will be compared between wearers of contact lenses with UV protection and those wearers of lenses without UV protection, based on their 5 year wear history.
Time frame: Approximately 40 minutes

Measured with autorefractor at a single visit and will be compared between wearers of contact lenses with UV protection and those wearers of lenses without UV protection, based on their 5 year wear history.
Time frame: Approximately 40 minutes
