Summary
It has been shown that non hygiene compliant contact lens wearers have a higher risk of complications. Studies show that the overall compliance varies from 40 to 98%, depending how it is defined. Hygiene instruction might be incomplete, leaving contact lens wearers unwillingly noncompliant. The purpose of this study was to determine the content and frequency of the hygiene instruction for soft contact lenses given by eye care professionals in the Netherlands.
