Corneal sensitivity in silicone hydrogel and rigid gas permeable contact lens wear
The aim of this prospective cross-sectional cohort study was to test the effect of silicone hydrogel (SH) and rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens (CL) wear on corneal sensitivity, applying the new Swiss Liquid Jet Aesthesiometer for Corneal Sensitivity (SLACS) and the Cochet-Bonnet (CB) aesthesiometer, based on subject feedback (psychophysical method).

Validation of the Greek version of the contact lens dry eye questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8)
Contact lens discomfort (CLD) has been cited as one of the prime reasons for discontinuing contact lens wear. The CLDEQ-8 was created in 2008 to reflect status of and change in overall opinion of soft contact lenses. The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and reliability of a Greek version of the Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire-8 (CLDEQ-8), using Rasch statistical analysis.

Lessons from the past to aid future legislature
The BCLA held its biennial International Clinical Conference in Manchester, UK, between 9 and 11 June. Current topics such as eye disease, myopia control, orthokeratology, scleral contact lenses, contact lens materials were included, plus many other topics that would help delegates deliver improved contact lens care. There was also a series of talks on therapeutics aimed at those practitioners who have independent prescribers ’ rights. I was asked to start this session of the conference with a general talk on the topic of ‘Global models of eyecare and regulation trends’ highlighting the importance of legislature to a...

Soft contact lens options in the management of pediatric aphakia – A quantitative and qualitative assessment
The main contact lens for pediatric aphakia has historically been a silicone elastomer lens (Silsoft SuperPlus). Due to supply chain disruption, many aphakic children required an alternative lens. We performed quantitative and qualitative comparisons between Silsoft SuperPlus and alternative aphakic soft contacts. (Source: Contact Lens and Anterior Eye)

Visual discomfort and contact lens wear: A review
The purpose of this manuscript is to describe how vision influences contact lens discomfort and review the evidence supporting the hypothesis that contact lens discomfort can be caused by vision and vision-related disorders. Contact lens discomfort is a misunderstood and difficult to manage clinical condition. Most treatments and strategies aimed at alleviating discomfort focus on optimizing the contact lens fit and its relationship with the ocular surface, but these strategies commonly fail at relieving discomfort symptoms.
