Abstract
Contact lenses are becoming more popular method of correction and more specialists choose this solution for their patients. However, despite advances in technology we still have to deal with dropouts. The most popular reasons for its discomfort. Technology of lens surface is really important – lubrication and wettability cooperate with comfort.
