Sep 27, 2005 22:18:51 I guess what MB was referring to was would the patient be able to wear cl's during ramadan.It is well documented that changes to diet can affect the tears and hence can affect cl comfort.I'm pretty suer I read somewhere that unusual deposits have been reported in cl wearers during ramadan. |
