PURPOSE
To document contact lens prescribing patterns in the United States between 2002 and 2014.
METHODS
A survey of contact lens prescribing trends was conducted each year between 2002 and 2014, inclusive. Randomly selected contact lens practitioners were asked to provide information relating to 10 consecutive contact lens fits between January and March each year.
RESULTS
Over the 13-year survey period, 1650 survey forms were received from US practitioners representing details of 7702 contact lens fits. The mean (±SD) age of lens wearers was 33.6 (±15.2) years, of whom 65.2% were female. Rigid lens new fits decreased from 13.0% in 2002 to 9.4% in 2014. Across this period, silicone hydrogels have replaced mid water contact lens hydrogels as the soft lens material of choice. Toric lenses represented about 25 to 30% of all soft lens fits. Multifocal soft lenses are generally preferred to monovision. Daily disposable lens fits have recently increased, and in 2014, they represented 27.1% of all soft lens fits. Most lenses are prescribed on 1 to 2 weekly or monthly lens replacement regimen. Extended wear remains a minority lens wearing modality. The vast majority of those wearing reusable lenses use multipurpose lens care solutions. Lenses are mostly worn 7 d/wk.
CONCLUSIONS
This survey has revealed prescribing trends and preferences in the United States over the past 13 years.
目的
记录2002年至2014年美国的隐形眼镜处方模式。
方法
在2002年至2014年（含）期间，每年进行一次隐形眼镜处方趋势调查。随机挑选的隐形眼镜从业者被要求提供每年1月至3月期间连续10次隐形眼镜验配的相关信息。
结果
在13年的调查期内，从美国从业者处收到了1650份调查问卷，代表了7702次隐形眼镜验配的详细信息。隐形眼镜佩戴者的平均（±标准差）年龄为33.6（±15.2）岁，其中65.2%为女性。硬性镜片新配比率从2002年的13.0%降至2014年的9.4%。在此期间，硅水凝胶已取代中等含水量的隐形眼镜水凝胶，成为软性镜片的首选材料。散光镜片约占所有软性镜片验配的25%至30%。多焦点软性镜片通常比单眼视力矫正更受青睐。日抛型镜片验配最近有所增加，在2014年，它们占所有软性镜片验配的27.1%。大多数镜片的处方采用每周或每月更换1至2次的镜片更换方案。长戴型仍然是少数人的佩戴方式。绝大多数佩戴可重复使用镜片的人使用多功能镜片护理液。镜片大多每周佩戴7天。
结论
本次调查揭示了美国过去13年的处方趋势和偏好。
