Brief summary
This research study is to see if using Lacrifill is safe, easy to use, and helpful for people who wear contact lenses but can't wear them comfortably for long. Specifically, the study aims to determine whether regular use of Lacrifill over a 2-3 month period can help people wear their contacts longer without discomfort and reduce signs and symptoms of dry eye.
Interventions
Lacrifill is a cross-linked hyaluronic acid derivative that temporarily blocks tear drainage, allowing patients eyed to be bathed in their own natural tears.
