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 patientΓÇÖs 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.
