Evaluation of ocular health and comfort in non spectacle wearer and non contact lens wearers (emmetropes) for three months

Summary
The results from this study will allow for further understanding of the ocular surface response and subjective comfort responses of the emmetropic population. The insight into the subjective comfort responses of this population can further enhance knowledge in the subjective comfort responses of the spectacle and contact lens wearing populations. The hypothesis of this study is that there will be no difference in ocular health and comfort in emmetropes over the course of three months.

Interventions
Ocular health (by visual acuity measurements, autorefraction/subjective refraction, slitlamp examination of the anterior eye) and comfort (by subjective comfort questionnaires) of non spectacle and non contact lens wearers are assessed at the baseline, 2 hours, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months after the baseline over 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.
