Please indicate the main reason you have recommended and fitted silicone hydrogel lenses for your patients: |
as an alternative to LASIK
|
|
|
to enhance compliance with wear schedule
|
|
|
to increase profitability
|
|
|
to improve comfort and decrease dryness symptoms
|
|
|
because they offer a healthier alternative for patients

I prefer to use SH instead of conventional lenses for monovision because; |
Patients find these easier to handle if they haven't worn CL previously
|
|
|
Patients experience less dry eye symptoms
|
|
|
Patients find CW more convenient
|
|
|
| |
I prefer conventional SL for monovision
