title: Re-wetting, comfort, lubricant and moisturizing solutions for the contact lens wearer.
abstract: In recent years there have been significant changes in perspective and availability of eyedrops designed to provide comfort to the contact lens wearer. This review addresses the reasons why there is a need for these types of products and considers their potential impact on the corneal and conjunctival surface. The methods of assessment of these solutions are discussed and the range of current products and options for the UK practitioner are detailed.
