Had a PT(male:21) come in yesterday for a CL exam. Found out he had been wearing his Mothers contacts (he had never been fitted before, he was just wearing his mom's RX), and had them in for MONTHS because he couldnt take them out.....
I asked how he knew what strength he needed, and his mom replied "well his vision has always been pretty close to mine"
Doc did NOT give him a script for contacts, and if it were up to me I wouldn't let HER wear contacts either.... Sometimes i wonder if there needs to be a Licencing test for contact wearers, or maybe an IQ test before you can wear them.....
