This is a cross-cultural adaptation, evaluation and validation study of the 8-item Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ-8) among soft contact lens wearers in China.
The aim of this study is to translate the 8-item Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (CLDEQ-8) into Chinese and evaluate its validity, and reliability among soft contact lens wearers in China. One hundred and thirty-four Chinese soft contact lens wearers will be included in the study. Subjects are required to complete the Chinese version of the 8-item Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire (C-CLDEQ-8) on paper before eye examinations. A subgroup of 50 participants will be asked to complete C-CLDEQ-8 twice to evaluate the repeatability.

| The reliability of the C-CLDEQ-8 | Subjects are asked to complete C-CLDEQ-8. Internal consistency (reliability) of the C-CLDEQ-8 is evaluated using the Cronbach's Alpha analysis and the corrected index of homogeneity. For Cronbach´s Alpha results: < 0.5 is considered unacceptable; 0.5-0.6 poor; 0.6-0.7 questionable; 0.7-0.8 acceptable; 0.8-0.9 good; and > 0.9 excellent. | before the ocular examination |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| The repeatability of the C-CLDEQ-8 | a subgroup of 50 participants are asked to complete C-CLDEQ-8 twice. Intraclasss correlation coefficient between the two scores of the first and second questionnaire evaluation is used to evaluate the repeatability. >0.7 is considered reliable. | before and after the ocular examination on the same day of visit |
