Contraindications (reasons not to use)

Do not use the lens when any of the following conditions exist:

• Acute and subacute inflammation or infection of the anterior chamber of the eye.
• Any eye disease, injury, or abnormality that affects the cornea, conjunctiva, or eyelids.
• Severe insufficiency of lacrimal secretion (dry eyes). l Corneal hypoesthesia (reduced corneal sensitivity), if not aphakic.
• Any systemic disease that may affect the eye or be exaggerated by wearing contact lenses. l Allergic reactions of ocular surfaces or adnexa that may be induced or exaggerated by wearing contact lenses or use of contact lens solutions.

• Any active corneal infection (bacterial, fungal, or viral).  If eyes become red or irritated.

Warnings

Patients should be advised of the following warnings pertaining to contact lens wear:

• Problems with contact lenses and lens care products could result in serious injury to the eye. It is essential that patients follow their eye care professional’s directions and all labelling instructions for proper use of lenses and lens care products, including the lens case.
• Eye problems, including corneal ulcers can develop rapidly and lead to loss of vision. The risk of ulcerative keratitis has been shown to be greater among users of extended wear contact lenses than among users of daily wear contact lenses. The risk increases with the number of consecutive days that the lenses are worn between removals, even with the first overnight use.
• Daily wear lenses are not indicated for overnight wear and patients should be instructed not to wear lenses while sleeping.
• Studies have shown that contact lens wearers who are smokers have a higher incidence of adverse reactions than nonsmokers.
• If a patient experiences eye discomfort, excessive tearing, vision changes, or redness of the eye, the patient should be instructed to immediately remove the lenses and promptly contact his or her eye care professional.

Precautions  

Special Precautions for Eye Care Practitioners

• The eye care practitioner should consider all characteristics of the lens that can affect lens performance and ocular health, including oxygen permeability, wettability, central and peripheral thickness, and optic zone diameter.
• The potential impact of these factors on the patient’s ocular health should be carefully weighed against the patient’s need for refractive correction; therefore, the continuing ocular health of the patient and lens performance on the eye should be carefully monitored by the prescribing eye care practitioner.
• Aphakic patients should not be fitted with any contact lenses until the determination is made that the eye has healed completely.
• Fluorescein, a yellow dye, should not be used while the lenses are on the eyes. The lenses absorb the dye and become discolored. Whenever fluorescein is used in the eyes, the eyes should be flushed with a sterile saline solution that is recommended for in-eye use.
• Before leaving the eye care practitioner’s office, the patient should be able to promptly remove the lenses or should have someone else available who can remove the lenses for him or her. Eye care practitioners should instruct the patient to remove the lenses immediately if the eye becomes red or irritated.
