Contact lens wear has been shown to be a major cause of tear film instability, increased evaporation rate, and dry-eye symptoms, leading to increased end-of-day ocular discomfort and reduced wearing time [2–6]. This discomfort can be exacerbated by longer wearing time, demanding visual tasks, and by dry environments [7–9].
