Abstract
PURPOSE: This study addressed the utilisation of machine learning techniques to estimate tear osmolarity, a clinically significant yet challenging parameter to measure accurately. Elevated tear osmolarity has been observed in contact lens wearers and is associated with contact lens-induced dry eye, a common cause of discomfort leading to discontinuation of lens wear.
