    Contact lens practitioners must obtain informed consent from patients regarding the risks of extended wear. Documentation through printed agreements ensures patients understand risks, care, and follow-up for safe contact lens use.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Contact Lens Technology

    Background:

    • Extended-wear contact lenses pose risks of complications.
    • Informed consent is crucial for patient safety and practitioner compliance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the requirements for informed consent in extended-wear contact lens fittings.
    • To emphasize the importance of documenting patient understanding of risks and care instructions.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical guidelines and best practices for contact lens fitting.
    • Analysis of informed consent documentation requirements for extended wear and disposable lenses.

    Main Results:

    • Optometrists must communicate risks associated with extended wear.

  • Printed agreements should detail risks, care, schedules, and follow-up.
  • Continuous wear should not exceed 7 days/6 nights without clear patient benefit.
  • Informed consent is vital for disposable lenses due to inability to inspect prior to wear.

    • Conclusions:

    • Adherence to informed consent protocols is essential for managing risks of extended-wear contact lenses.
    • Clear documentation protects both patients and practitioners.
    • Patients must be educated on immediate removal and examination for adverse symptoms.
