Unit 4: Introduction to Contact Lens Development History and Fitting
It is inspiring to illustrate the beginning, middle, and current history and evolution of contact lenses. Even with the advent of Lasik surgery, orthokeratology, and other methods to correct refractive errors, contact lenses are still the mainstay for individuals that want an alternative to glasses. In this comprehensive unit we provide a solid foundation on the anterior segment and anatomy of the eye, offering a clear understanding of the pathology that can affect the cornea, lids, and lashes. We continue with refractive errors and pre-fitting measurements, identifying best lens material and parameter options. At IO Tech we stress the importance and awareness of our duty to the public to hold this privilege of fitting a medical device with the best interest of the patient’s health and wellbeing in mind.
