Mission
The mission of the TFOS International Workshop on Contact Lens Discomfort is to:
• conduct an evidence-based evaluation of contact lens discomfort in health and disease
• develop a contemporary understanding of the definition, classification, epidemiology and neurobiology of contact lens discomfort
• examine the role of lens materials, design and care in the etiology of contact lens discomfort
• assess the biocompatibility of contact lenses with the tear film and ocular surface
• develop appropriate norms of trial design including outcome measures for contact lens discomfort
• develop recommendations for the management and therapy of contact lens discomfort
• develop recommendations for future innovative research in contact lens discomfort |
