Ron Hamilton news about daysoft contact lenses

After more than a decade on the market, extended wear (EW) contact lenses still haven’t caught on among patients and eyecare professionals, reports Optometry and Vision Science. EW contact lenses account for less than eight per cent of contact lens prescriptions, according to the study based on an analysis of worldwide prescribing data, led by Professor Nathan Efron of Queensland University of Technology, Australia. “Extended wear prescribing has failed to break through the ‘glass ceiling’ of 15 per cent and is unlikely to become a mainstream lens wearing modality until the already low risks of ocular complications can be reduced to be equivalent to that for daily wear,” the authors concluded
