Contact Lens Complications as a Clinical Inflection Point in Refractive Care: Translational Pathways to Laser Vision Correction
Author(s): Stephen N. Joffe*
Contact lens intolerance and related complications remain among the most significant drivers of refractive dissatisfaction. A study peer-reviewed literature search was performed relating to contact lens complications as a clinical inflection point in refractive care and explored the translational pathway from chronic contact lens dependence toward laser vision correction.
Multiple studies demonstrate increasing rates of contact lens dropout secondary to discomfort and dry eye disease. Refractive surgery, when properly selected and managed, offers high patient satisfaction, reduced dependence on corrective devices and improved lifestyle outcomes. Clinical conversion from contact lens intolerance to refractive surgery represents a significant opportunity for earlier intervention and multidisciplinary co-management potential by reducing long-term ocular surface morbidity while ..
