Tear break-up time(BUT), Schirmer Ⅰ test(SⅠt)and fluorescein(FL)staining were as dry eye evaluation index. The results was statistically analyzed.RESULTS: BUT, SⅠt average shortening value of the experimental group were less than that of the control group, there was statistical significance(PPCONCLUSION: Wearing customized curvature soft corneal contact lens can prevent the flight dry eye more effectively than fixed curvature product.
