Efficacy Study of a New Eyedrop on Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Wearers With Dry Eye Complaints

September 26, 2013 updated by: Optometric Technology Group Ltd

Evaluation of the Effect of Repeated Usage of a New Eyedrop on Silicone Hydrogel Contact Lens Wearers With Dry Eye Complaints

The objectives of the investigation will be to assess the effect of the repeated usage of a new eye drop on the tear film characteristics of silicone hydrogel contact lens wearers with contact lens related comfort problems and to quantify any potential benefit.
