Abstract
Conjunctival hyperaemia was assessed in noncontact lens wearers using a photographic reference scale. The study was carried out on a sample of 252 females and 227 males within the age range of 1 to 89 years. The results show increasing levels of hyperaemia with age and higher levels of hyperaemia in males than in females. The differences in hyperaemia level for age and sex, however, were small and were insignificant clinically.Keywords
