ontact lenses offer
patients flexibility, ease
and an alternative to
traditional
eyewear
frames. The choice
comes down to getting the right fit
for the patient, considering their
health issues and lifestyle choices.
For eyecare professionals (ECPs), it’s
about making sure the contact lens
measures up.
“Thanks to today’s technology,
almost every patient could be
declared eligible and be educated on
the possibility of soft contact lenses
as an option for vision correction,
even if their reason for the visit was
an comprehensive eye exam and new
eyewear,” says Michael S. Mayers,
O.D., FAAO Manager of Global
Strategic Medical Affairs for Vistakon,
Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc.
