  • Title: A categorical approach to the diagnosis and management of pre- and post-fit contact lens conditions.
    Author: Catania LJ.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1987 Oct; 58(10):819-30. PubMed ID: 3316351.
    Abstract:
    There are two essential elements in the successful management of contact lens wear. First, it is necessary to pre-assess common anterior segment disorders which may interfere with wear. Such conditions often require pre-wear remediation and special fitting considerations. Second, post-fit complications must be accurately evaluated regarding risk, etiology and prognosis. Appropriate treatment and follow-up for such complications usually results in continued, successful wear. This paper presents tables including diagnostic and management high-lights of the more common complications. Each table is subdivided into anatomical, diagnostic (alphabetical listings) etiological and risk factor categories for practical referencing.
