PURPOSE: To study whether some ocular surface alterations could be associated with contact lens (CL) wearers suffering from CL discomfort (CLD) detected using the Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ)-8.
METHODS: Forty-one soft CL wearers further classified into symptomatic CL wearers (SCLW) and asymptomatic CL wearers (ACLW) by the CLDEQ-8, and 20 non CL wearers (NCLW) were included. Tear osmolarity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy findings, tear film break-up time, corneal and conjunctival staining, and Schirmer test were performed 24 h after CL removal. Data were compared among groups using the analysis of variance and the Student t-test or the Kruskal-Wallis H and the Mann-Whitney U tests, applying the Bonferroni correction. Correlations between the CLDEQ-8 and the clinical signs were performed using the Spearman correlation coefficient.
RESULTS: Twenty-four SCLW, 17 ACLW and 20 NCLW were recruited. There were significant differences among groups for tear osmolarity (p < 0.001), limbal hyperaemia (p = 0.014), and tarsal hyperaemia (p = 0.031). Pairwise comparisons revealed that SCLW and ACLW had higher tear osmolarity (p < 0.003, both comparisons) and limbal hyperaemia (p = 0.027 and p = 0.048, respectively) than NCLW. Moreover, SCLW had higher tarsal hyperaemia (p = 0.030) than NCLW. No significant correlations were found (p > 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The CLDEQ-8 was ineffective to detect clinical alterations between SCLW and ACLW; therefore, the use of questionnaires alone remains being the best approach to detect CLD. The role of the tarsal conjunctiva in the development of CLD should be analyzed in future studies.
