Key points

- You should give the same level of care to patients wearing powered or zero powered contact lenses.
- You should schedule contact lens check-ups according to the patient’s clinical needs. This will depend upon your analysis of the risks of contact lens wear.
- If you are asked to re-issue or revalidate a patient’s contact lens specification you are responsible for the specification and should check the lenses they are wearing.
