Abstract

The article looks at a technique on assessing the predictability of a daily disposable contact lens. Patients have expectations on the lenses prescribed by optometrists including comfort and vision enhancement. A Contact Lens and Anterior Eye Research Unit study reveals that predictability can be assessed through the ocular surface disease index questionnaire, which gives a positive predicted value of 87 percent and 91 percent accuracy.
