SIGNIFICANCE: Established reusable contact lens (CL) wearers show higher tear inflammatory cytokine concentrations and greater conjunctival metaplasia in the region covered by standard soft CLs. The balance of proinflammatory to anti-inflammatory cytokines, but not individual tear cytokine concentrations, was associated with self-reported CL discomfort.PURPOSE: Daily disposable (DD) lenses are often used to improve CL discomfort, but the effect on ocular inflammatory responses has not been fully investigated. This study aimed to compare the concentrations of tear cytokines and conjunctival cell morphology in healthy habitual DD and reusable soft CL wearers.METHODS: Thirty-six established daily CL wearers, including 14 DD and 24 reusable wearers, were enrolled. Symptoms and ocular surface integrity were evaluated. The concentration of tear cytokines (interleukin 1 beta [IL-1 beta], IL-6, IL-10, IL-12(p70), IL-17A, and tumor necrosis factor a) were determined using Multiplex assays. The ratios of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines were calculated. Impression cytology was performed on the conjunctiva, and goblet cell density and epithelial squamous metaplasia were quantified. Differences in variables by CL replacement schedules and the associations between variables were analyzed.RESULTS: Reusable CL wearers had higher concentrations (in pg/mL) of IL-1 beta (26 +/- 7 vs. 16 +/- 11), IL-6 (42 +/- 14 vs. 25 +/- 20), IL-10 (83 +/- 23 vs. 49 +/- 36), IL-12(p70) (145 +/- 44 vs. 91 +/- 68), IL-17A (93 +/- 26 vs. 54 +/- 44), and tumor necrosis factor a (312 [171 to 468] vs. 189 [6 to 447]) (all P
