CONTACT LENS PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

   The majority of  patients who wear contact lenses do so for the    
   correction of refractive error.  In some cases they are used to 
   protect the cornea, cover a disfigured eye or for other reasons.

The three main requirements with contact 
lens wear are:

1. Correct the patient’s vision.  (see well)

2. Does not cause any harm. (look well)

3. Comfort.  (feel well)

There are many different ways these 
criteria can be achieved and different 
clinicans may use different types of 
contact lenses or different ways to fit a 
given lens type.  The important thing is that 
the three above criteria are met.
