Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess eyelid margin staining, termed "lid wiper epitheliopathy" (LWE), in three populations. The hypothesis is LWE will be more prevalent in symptomatic contact lens wearers than non-symptomatic contact lens wearers and least prevalent in asymptomatic non-contact lens wearers.

Conditions

• Dry Eye

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Ophthalmic dye	Topically instilled for the purpose of assessing lid margin staining
DEVICE	Contact lenses	Silicone hydrogel contact lenses per subject's habitual brand and power, worn for a minimum of 8 hours on the day of assessment, after which lenses will be removed and dye will be instilled.
