Abstract

The aim of this paper is to summarize ocular surface problems within contact lens wearers. The author present classification and pathogenesis of dry eye syndrome and pay attention to the importance of this problem in case of contact lens candidates and contact lens wearers. An appropriate attitude how to manage this problem is also described. The paper discusses the most popular indexes and questionnaires with particular emphasis on Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), as well as the correlation of results from clinical trials with those from biological ones, and their practical implementation as far as use of contact lenses and clinical studies are concerned. Dry Eye Work Shop (DEWS) to screen, diagnose and monitor dry eye disease. A practical sequence of tests: • clinical history • fluorescein BUT • ocular surface staining grading with fluorescein/yellow filter • Schirmer I test without anesthetic, or I with anesthetic, and/or Schirmer II with nasal stimulation • lid and meibomian morphology • meibomian expression • other test may be added according to availability.
