CONTACT LENSES TODAY
January 2, 2005
Contact Lenses Today® is edited by Dr. Joseph T. Barr and the staff of Contact Lens Spectrum. This week CLToday® reaches more
than 10,000 readers in 74 countries.
Because of the paucity of news at this time of the year, CLToday will not be published in its usual form this week. It will return in full
publication form next week.
From the editorial staff of CLToday and Boucher Communications, Inc., we wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
This month at http://www.siliconehydrogels.org, read about the hyperopic shift that occurs
with silicone hydrogel lenses, GP-silicone hydrogel piggyback systems and a study testing the presumption that wearing inverted contact lenses decreases comfort and
vision.
Report adverse contact lens reactions here: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/ or
call (800) FDA-1088.
Access a reporting form for complications you've seen that were a result of contact lenses dispensed without a valid
prescription at the Association of Regulatory Boards of Optometry's (ARBO's) Web
site: http://www.arbo.org/arbo.asp?dt=R&doc=Complications. Complete and send the form online or
print it out and fax it to (866) 886-6164.
Send your favorite tips to tips@cltoday.com -- if your
tip is selected as 'Best of the Month,' you'll receive a free golf shirt (see http://www.CLToday.com for details). Please include
your full name, degree or title and city/state/country.
