Abstract
A planned-replacement disposable lens (Precision W) has been evaluated in terms of its application as a therapeutic device in a hospital ophthalmology department. Sixty-six eyes were fitted over an 8-month period in order to manage a range of ocular disorders. The lens was found to fit satisfactorily in 80% of cases, producing the desired therapeutic effect. Of the remaining cases, variation in lens fit or physical size was necessary. The lens was considered to be suitable for use as a therapeutic device, providing a convenient and cost-effective approach to this specialist area of contact lens practice.
