Contact Lenses and Infiltrative Keratitis

State University of New York College of Optometry32 enrolled

Overview

To quantify and compare baseline tear proteins and ocular response in contact lens wearers with a history of corneal infiltrative events, to those without a history of complications. This will be accomplished via measurement of select anti-inflammatory tear proteins before, during and after contact lens wear.
