PREVIOUS CONTACT LENS EXPERIENCE
The patient may have previously
worn contact lenses with either a
positive or negative experience.
If a patient had previously worn a
rigid lens and discontinued due to
poor comfort, it would be prudent
to fit the patient with hydrogel
lenses assuming they are a good
hydrogel candidate.
Likewise, if a patient had a history
of successful rigid lens wear, had
been switched to hydrogels and
discontinued wear due to unsatisfactory vision or dryness symptoms, it may be better to try RGP lenses.
TAKE A GOOD HISTORY and use the information to help make an intelligent choice of lens type.
