Lifestyles are becoming increasingly demanding, with more hours spent on digital devices than ever before, together with packed work and social calendars. With these evolving lifestyle demands, it’s perhaps not surprising that 75% of patients agree that they would like more from their contact lenses. Using patient cases, this peer review will explore how to identify contact lens wearers’ clinical and lifestyle needs and address how we can ensure we provide patients with the best contact lens wearing experience for their modern lifestyle.

Learning outcomes:

Practitioners will appreciate the importance of a obtaining a full patient history in order to recommend the most appropriate contact lens to meet the patient’s lifestyle and visual needs

Practitioners will consider effective ways to recommend a visual solution to patients, allowing the patient to be fully involved in the decisions made about their care

Practitioners will reflect on their current soft contact lens knowledge and ways of ensuring that this is kept up to date.
