Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Clinicians commonly use artificial tears off label for treating contact lens (CL) discomfort and the dry eye associated with CLs because new artificial tear formulations have the potential to outperform the available CL rewetting drops. While off-label, McDonald et al. have previously shown that using a common artificial tear, Systane Ultra, before and after CL use is an effective means for treating daily disposable CL wears who have CL discomfort. Recently, a new formulation of artificial tears, Systane Complete, was released to the market. Systane Complete is a unique formulation that has combined elements from both Systane Ultra (indicated for aqueous deficient dry eye) and Systane Balance (indicated for evaporative dry eye) to create an artificial tear with an indication for aqueous deficient, evaporative, and mixed (both aqueous deficient and evaporative) dry eye. Thus, the goal of this study is to determine in a randomized clinical trial if Systane Complete is able to effectively improve the symptoms of patients who have CL discomfort.
