Low wettability is expected to result in which effect on comfort?

Improved comfort

Reduced comfort

Low wettability means the lens surface doesn’t spread tear film readily. When the tear film can’t wet the surface evenly, it becomes unstable and breaks up faster, causing dry spots and more friction as you blink. This irritation, gritty sensation, and dryness all contribute to reduced comfort. Materials and surface treatments that improve wettability help the tear film stay evenly distributed, promoting smoother blinking and greater comfort.
