This lecture explores the rationale for fitting daily disposables vs. reusable lenses, and also conventional hydrogels vs. silicone hydrogels. In the list below is a range of papers and other resources which support my presentation. Some are full documents – others feature at least the abstract of the paper. Access to full papers is generally available to those accessing from a university (or similar) IP address or those with ‘Athens’ access. Members of the College of Optometrists have ‘Athens’ accounts as part of their annual membership. I explain this here.
