Contact Lenses and Infiltrative Keratitis

Completed · Not applicable

In brief

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.
