This study highlights the potential benefits of integrating machine learning into contact lens research and practice. It suggests the clinical utility of assessing Meibomian glands and NIKBUT in contact lens fitting and follow-up visits. Machine learning models can optimise contact lens prescriptions and aid in early detection of conditions like dry eye, ultimately enhancing ocular health and the contact lens wearing experience.
