ABSTRACT
Since
contact lenses were first introduced to correct refractive error, numbers
of contact lens wearer in the affluent societies are increase, as same as
increasing numbers of complications.
For the profession, innovative
changes have invariably meant new challenges in patient care. The challenge
lies in knowing how to match specific lens systems to particular patients;
in understanding how to be balance the demands of comeal physiology, lens
design, and wear needs; and in appreciating how to sort through the controversies
that surround different lens systems, particularly those for extended wear.
The recent knowledges and developments in contact lenses are reviewed.
