Fitting is the crucial stage of contact lenses wear; if a patient is not properly fitted with their contact lenses, a number of major problems are likely to appear, including corneal scratching and serious infection.
In order to facilitate the process, a manufacturer of contact lenses and related products, CooperVision, has developed a new fitting method. This new method, according to the company, will make contact lens fitting easier for both patients and eye care professionals.
The enhanced, “streamlined” technique is supposed to provide contact lens wearers with a perfect combination of comfort, health and ease, while the eye care practitioner’s task will be simpler and less time-consuming.
CooperVision’s Vice President of Global Professional Relations, Richard Clompus, stated that the new fitting technique is a result of the work the company did while developing Biofinity Multifocal contact lenses in collaboration with eye care professionals. This, according to Clompus, gave the company a great deal of information about contact lens users and the services that eye care practitioners provide for them, resulting in constantly improved products.
