Dynamic Aspects of Pre-Soft Contact Lens Tear Film and Their Relation to Dry Eye: Basic Science and Clinical Relevance

Soft contact lens (SCL) perturbs the intimate connection between the pre-lens tear film (PLTF) and the ocular surface in various ways, i.e., (i) decrease in tear meniscus radius and aqueous tear thickness, (ii) attenuation of tear film lipid layer spread, (iii) limited wettability of SCL surface, (i...
