Summary
The purpose of this study is to measure the relative "barrier" function of the top layer of
the cornea (called the epithelium), or the degree to which the cornea can prevent the
penetration of the colored dye sodium fluorescein into the eye. This is a clinical
investigation of the effect on corneal barrier function following wear of two contact lens
materials and two contact lens care systems, approved for marketing in the US by the Food and
Drug Administration. These contact lenses will be worn for two hours, following soak in one
of two marketed contact lens disinfecting solutions. Approximately 25 young, adapted contact
lens wearers will participate.
