Summary
The results from this study will allow for further understanding of the ocular surface response and subjective comfort responses of the spectacle wearing population. By understanding spectacle wearer responses, it may contribute to the knowledge of the causes of discomfort in the contact lens wearing population. The hypothesis of the study is that there will be no difference in the ocular health and subjective comfort of spectacle wearers over the course of three months.

Interventions
Ocular health (by visual acuity measurements, autorefraction/subjective refraction, and slitlamp examination of the anterior eye) and comfort (by subjective comfort questionnaires) of spectacle wearers are assessed at the baseline, 2 hours, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after the baseline during the course of the trial. The number of recruited participants may change to ensure the drop out number does not reduce the sample size to a level below what is required for the demonstration of statistical power and significance.
