Practitioners' Contact Lens Preference.

The uniqueness and individuality of optometric practitioners is amazing. Practitioners opinions vary in all areas from the method of determining a spectacle prescription to setting up a treatment plan for an ocular disease. These individual approaches are why optometry is often considered more an art than a science. This survey was designed to show practitioner's preferences in the art of contact lenses. The information received was intended to broaden the understanding of contact lenses beyond the academic setting by learning the trends practitioners today are following. The areas involved ranged from favorite hydtrogel and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses and preferred disinfectant systems.
