Course Summary

The assessment, prevention, and management of problems related to soft contact lens wear are critical areas of patient care. Significantly, many of these problems can be alleviated by changing to a different contact lens material, a different lens design, an altered wearing schedule, or a combination of any of these changes. This course outlines some of the more commonly encountered problems and causes and then offers suggestions for changes to remedy the problems.
