The prescription of soft contact lenses

Contact lenses represent a modern way to correct the refraction errors, the main beneficiaries being the myopes, the anisometropes, the mono- or bilateral aphakias when there was not performed an intraocular lens implantation, the astigmates and the hyperopes; with the natural tint contact lenses the interest will extend over the emmetropic patients. The ophthalmologist has the capacity to settle the indications and contraindications (general and ocular diseases, hygiene deficiencies etc) of wearing contact lenses, as if to prescribe the contact lenses and to teach the patient how to handle and how to take care of his contact lenses. Having the idea to broke a certain restraint which is shown by many ophthalmologists concerning contact lenses, we have stated some practical considerations regarding the method to prescribe contact lenses.
