CLToday Fitting Tip of the Month

August 2004

Contact Lenses Today® is edited by Dr. Joseph T. Barr and the staff of Contact Lens Spectrum.

Daily Disposable Lens Wear
I have two teenage sons in contact lenses and both wear daily disposables. I tell parents that one-day lenses for teenagers means parents will have five less things to worry about:
1. Did you clean your lenses tonight?
2. Do you need me to run to the store for solution?
3. Did you sleep in your lenses last night?
4. Did you remember to change your lenses last weekend?
5. Are you using the right solution?
One-day lenses aren't only convenient for kids, but they're convenient for parents too.
