Contact lenses fitting for patients with systemic diseases

Main Article Content

Katarzyna J. Witkowska

Abstract

Contact lenses wearers are the heterogeneous group of patients. Numerous of them are treated because of general diseases, like arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases. General diseases and taking medication can influence the ocular surface and quality of tear film. Both of those parameters play a key role in contactology. Proper knowledge of patient’s medical history, thorough eye examination, and a choice of the newest generation of contact lenses allow for excellent contact lenses fitting. It significantly reduces probability of abandonment of contact lenses.
