Objective:
To provide strategies for transitioning hydrogel contact lens wearers to silicone hydrogel (SiHy) daily disposable lenses, specifically targeting eyecare providers.
Key Findings:
- SiHy daily disposables are generally healthier for patients.
- These lenses minimize disruption to the eye.
- SiHy lenses offer improved comfort and a wide range of parameters.
Interpretation:
Transitioning to SiHy daily disposables can significantly enhance the long-term success and satisfaction of contact lens wearers.
Limitations:
- Resistance from patients and providers due to the 'if it’s not broken, don’t fix it' mentality; strategies to address this resistance should be considered.
Conclusion:
SiHy daily disposables are the optimal choice for patients seeking comfort and health in contact lens wear; eyecare providers should actively promote this transition.
