Contact lenses. The ophthalmologist's role in prescription.
It is the responsibility of ophthalmologists to determine which patients can suitably use contact lenses, to instruct them in care and use of the lenses, to write the prescription and to check the fitting, vision and tolerance of the eyes to avoid injury. This very important component of eye care should not be given over to nonmedical technicians by default.
