Zusammenfassung
In Zeiten der unbegrenzten Verfügbarkeit der Austauschlinsen im Internet und beim
Discounter ist die Kontaktlinse mehr und mehr zum Lifestyle-, aber auch zum Wegwerfprodukt
geworden. Dieser zweite Teil des Beitrags thematisiert die praktische Durchführung
einer Kontaktlinsenanpassung und geht auf mögliche Komplikationen ein, die beim Kontaktlinsentragen
auftreten können.
Abstract
In times of unlimited availability of exchange lenses on the internet and in discount
stores, the contact lens has increasingly become a lifestyle but also a disposable
product. The targeted marketing of the contact lens as a mass product could only be
realized because the fitting and application of the contact lenses are presented as
very simple. The numbers of contact lens-induced complications, as well as the fact
that the German market in particular has not seen any increase in the number of contact
lens wearers in recent years (2015 to 2019), however, speak a different language.
How to fit your patient correctly after a detailed explanation of the different types
of contact lenses and their areas of application, how to instruct him or her on how
to use them correctly and what risks the patient must be informed about is the subject
of this 2nd part of “The basics of practical contact lens fitting”. It also explains
how to avoid complications that can occur when wearing contact lenses and how to advise
and care for patients with contact lens intolerances.
