Abstract
The study was designed in order to evaluate the tear film characteristics of elite athletes in four sports and compare them with those of a sedentary population. The effects of training on the tear film was studied. Methods: Quantitative (red phenol thread and meniscus height) and qualitative (TTT and BUT) tests were conducted on a group of students and a group of elite athletes, before and after a training session. Results: Both groups presented similar tear film characteristics. Training was found to lead to an alteration of tear film characteristics. Especially relevant were the differences encountered in BUT and tear meniscus height measurements. Discussion: The results of four different sport categories are analysed and conclusions are drawn concerning the type of contact lens most appropriate for each particular sport.
