title: [Tear film diagnosis in contact lens wearers].
abstract: Contact lenses have an intimate relationship with the precorneal tear film and it is important to attempt to prognosticate the likelihood of successful contact lens wear by evaluating, both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the precorneal tear film. Aspects of history diagnostic methods and general aspects which are necessary to notice prior to contact lens fitting are described in this review.
