Contact lenses in the elderly patient are often prescribed for visual correction and/or corneal rehabilitation. The success of contact lenses in the geriatric patient is often limited by such factors as abnormal adnexal physiology, decreased manual dexterity, high degrees of refractive error, and low vision. Assessment of these factors prior to contact lens fitting can greatly increase the success of these unique contact lens applications. Indications and contraindications for contact lenses in the elderly, the need for special lens handling and care by family members, and available specialty lenses will be discussed.
老年患者佩戴隐形眼镜通常是为了视力矫正和/或角膜康复。老年患者佩戴隐形眼镜的成功率常常受到诸如附属器生理异常、手部灵活性下降、高度屈光不正和视力低下等因素的限制。在佩戴隐形眼镜前对这些因素进行评估，可大大提高这些特殊隐形眼镜应用的成功率。本文将讨论老年患者佩戴隐形眼镜的适应证和禁忌证、家庭成员进行特殊镜片处理和护理的必要性以及现有的特殊镜片。
