Brief Summary

Patients who want to wear contact lenses often need to visit the optician multiple times. For example, they might go for an eye test, then return for the contact lens fitting, come back to pick up the lenses, and then again for follow-up care and check-ups. Right now, there are no clear guidelines on how many visits are needed for efficient and high-quality contact lens care. The purpose of the current study is to understand the scheduling and frequency of follow-up visits required for both new contact lens wearers and those who are experienced.
