The fitting and dispensing of extended wear contact lenses places special clinical and legal demands upon optometrists. These patients must be monitored on a regular basis to minimize the risk of complications. To promote better understanding and compliance, the use of printed agreements is recommended. Failure to observe these factors--and to document patient care--may lead to professional liability claims based on allegations of negligence or product liability.
