Contact lens wear is one of the relevant risk factors for dry eye, and the coexistence of dry eye poses a serious challenge in patients wearing contact lenses. The Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society Workshop addressed issues around the topic of discomfort in contact lens wear, which is a major cause for discontinuation of contact lens wear, and termed this condition as contact lens discomfort. With the rapid advances in contact lens technology and pharmacological agents and deeper understanding of this field, updating the "new normal" beyond what is known as standard is essential. This review aims to summarize the latest topics in contact lens and dry eye that would be useful for clinicians and contact lens practitioners.
