Differences between tolerant and intolerant contact lens wearers. NI-TBUT: non-invasive break-up time of tears. Tear flow rate given at 10 times the rate so values should be divided by 10 to give μl/m

Differences between tolerant and intolerant contact lens wearers. NI-TBUT: non-invasive break-up time of tears. Tear flow rate given at 10 times the rate so values should be divided by 10 to give μl/min. After 6h of lens wear, NI-TBUT was not statistically significantly different between the groups.
