What is the primary goal of lens care and refractive check-ups?

The primary goal of lens care and refractive check-ups is to ensure optimal visual comfort and ocular health. Regular check-ups help assess the effectiveness of the current lenses, identify any changes in vision, and address any discomfort a patient may experience. Ensuring that lenses are suitable for a patient's vision needs not only enhances visual acuity but also contributes to overall ocular health by preventing potential complications related to poorly fitted or outdated lenses. Maintaining the correct prescription and lens care practices is crucial for delivering the best outcomes in vision correction, enhancing the patient’s quality of life and maintaining eye health.

While promoting sales of new lenses, educating patients about lens brands, and increasing practice efficiency are important aspects of an eye care practice, they are secondary to the fundamental goal of optimizing patient comfort and health. Prioritizing visual comfort and ocular health leads to better patient satisfaction and long-term relationships in a professional practice.
