CONTRAINDICATIONS TO LENS WEAR
OCULAR REASONS
One eyed patients
Great caution should be used in fitting
patients with only one functional eye.
As I tell these patients, "You no longer
have a spare eye, if something happens
to the good eye you will be functionally
blind". It is best to not fit these
patients, however, we often do when
they have high ametropias or for other
reasons.
Do not fit them with extended wear.
Use daily wear only. Patient education
and compliance is critical.
They must wear safety spectacles even with the contact lenses for protection.
