A 62-year-old Hispanic man presented complaining of progressive deterioration in vision in both eyes with associated photophobia over the last 15 years. He expressed an interest in contact lenses as a form of vision correction because his glasses did not provide him with the required visual acuity necessary for driving a motor vehicle.

A 66-year-old Caucasian woman presented to the clinic with a chief complaint of dry eyes and interest in contact lenses for correction of her vision. She noticed that her dry eyes and vision in both eyes appeared to be worsening over the past few years and that she had insufficient relief of her dry eyes and mild light sensitivity with artificial tears.
