Summary

As new contact lens products continue to be developed and improved, it's becoming harder for some individuals to tell whether one product is different from another. In addition, not everyone has the same level of sensitivity of their eyes, making it difficult for these judgments to be made. The purpose of this study is to explore the idea of using a pre-determined "expert panel" of individuals who are able to tell differences between contact lenses based on their comfort.
