    Frequency of Routine Contact Lens Progress Checks

    After you have completed a fitting, how often do you recommend a ROUTINE progress check? ROUTINE cases...not complex...for daytime wear lenses only...soft or RGP. Give your best average.

    Once at 2 weeks, once at at 6 weeks and twice a year or if and when a problem develops, whichever comes first.

    I also recommend that the patient see the doctor anually if not told to see him at a different interval by the doctor.
