Key Points

  • This research aims to track sodium and potassium concentrations in tears during contact lens adaptation.
  • Monitored tear concentrations of sodium and potassium in six patients
  • Compared levels before and after contact lens fitting
  • Discussed implications of variations in these cation levels
  • Sodium and potassium concentrations varied independently during adaptation
  • Changes were significant compared to pre-fitting levels

Abstract

ABSTRACT Sodium and potassium concentrations of the tears of six patients were monitored during adaptation to contact lenses and compared with pre‐fitting levels. These two cations were found to vary independently and the implication of these vatiations is discussed relative to fitting observations.
