This randomized controlled trial evaluated the impact of a hyaluronic acid derivative (HAD) in a multipurpose disinfecting solution on contact lens comfort among wearers with dry eye symptoms. Participants using HAD-containing solution showed significant improvement in CLDEQ-8 scores after eight weeks (mean reduction ≥7.7), while those using non-HAD solution did not demonstrate significant comfort improvement.
Key findings
- Participants using HAD MPS had a mean reduction in CLDEQ-8 scores of ≥7.7 after eight weeks.
- No significant comfort improvement was observed with non-HAD MPS (mean reduction ≤3.3).
- Significant improvement in CLDEQ-8 scores was noted in participants previously wearing daily disposable lenses (P < 0.008).
Why it matters
Improving contact lens comfort is crucial for patient satisfaction and adherence to lens wear. This study suggests that incorporating hyaluronic acid into disinfecting solutions may enhance comfort for symptomatic wearers, potentially influencing product selection.
