Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to utilize in-vivo confocal microscopy to describe differences in corneal epithelial immune status across three lens care regimens in new contact lens wearers.
Detailed Description
An estimated 40 million people in the United States wear contact lenses, with approximately 38 million soft lens wearers and 2 million rigid gas permeable lens wearers. The ocular surface has been sho...
