Prefitting and Contraindications for Contact Lens Wear
Describe and explain some of the most common contraindications to contact lens wear that are encountered at the office. How are these determined and how are recommendations against contact lens wear communicated to the patient?

Are you asking us to do your homework for you ?:finger:

[opticalstudent]

No like I said I am new to the contact lens setting ( I haven't actually strated my clinical yet) and I have to think up questions for the exam. Did I would it wrong?

[chip anderson]

Don't they have books and instructors that teach you what you need to know for the exam? (And hopefully what you need to know for the patient?)

A better place to look for your answers would be;


Contact Lens Society of America 1-703-437-5100

Contact Lens Manual; A comprehensive study and Reference Guide

There is an advanced manual as well that is an excellent resource.

For contraindications your could also look into the 5 D's (I won't expand on this);)

I think in school, we came up with a total of 9 D's, but only 5 of them were fit to print - and the other 4 came from the prof.!
