I don't care what VSP says. I don't care what EyeMed says. I don't care if my lab has super-lenient policies. I'm trying to make a policy that makes empirical sense.
First of all, no therapy known to man needs more than 30 days to assess efficacy. I am trying to expand my view enough to consider things like diabetes medical therapy, glaucoma therapy, etc. I think 30 days is pretty solid.
So...if vision correction is dispensed (of any modality; spectacle or contact lens) and the wear schedule is faithfully adhered to by the patient, I think 30 days should be enough.
Need a follow-up on those CLs? Within 30 days.
Need a follow-up on those new computer glasses? Within 30 days.
The sample size for the experiment is significant at that point.
Does everyone agree that 30 days is sufficient?
Is there any scientific reason we should give someone 60, or 90, or 180 days to try a therapy?
I do want feedback on this, please.
