Topic: Contact Lenses
Thirteen percent of patients wearing monthly replacement contact lenses returned to their eye doctor with comfort or vision complaints or required a lens refit compared to eight percent of patients wearing a two-week modality over the study period, according to a press release from the American Academy of Optometry. This translates to 62 percent more of these unscheduled doctors' visits for monthly wearers versus two-week wearers. Visits requiring medical treatment were recorded separately and were not different between the two groups.
