Use of 5.0% Lifitegrast Ophthalmic Solution for the Treatment of Dry Eye Disease in Contact Lens Wearers

Summary

Discomfort with contact lens wear is the biggest reason why people stop wearing contact lenses. The investigators believe that inflammation is one of the causes of discomfort, and by blocking the inflammation using lifitegrast, the investigators may be able to relieve some of that discomfort. This study will enroll 50 subjects with contact lens discomfort and will receive lifitegrast to use over a period of approximately 3 months.
