This note gives a number of references and resources for my talk on how we can help our patients improve their compliance and in doing so, help them minimise the risk of keratitis during contact lens wear. Many of the links are to articles in the literature. Full access to most/all of these papers is available to members of the College of Optometrists via an Athens account as I have written about here.
