Aiding the novice practitioner in contact lens selection.
A comprehensive study was performed to assist the new graduate and novice contact lens practitioner in the choice of the optimal lens for each case scenario, as well as provide guidance for inventory selection. The survey was distributed to the clinical staff at the State University of New York, State College of Optometry, in order to take advantage of the knowledge of the experienced contact lens fitter. There appear to be clinically significant relationships between lens characteristics and performance ratings.
