Characterization of the Pre-lens Tear Film in Hydrogel and Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Wear
This study demonstrated that both hydrogel and silicone hydrogel CLs disrupt the tear film by increasing tear evaporation and causing tear film instability. However, CL materials affect the pre-lens tear film status differently. Further studies with longer wearing times are required.
