This new class of contact lens material could be the next generation, taking over silicone hydrogel as the material of choice.

Releasing Prescriptions Means Losing Some Control Over Patient Care & Revenue

June 1, 2010

Consumers have a right to their prescriptions | www.baltimoresun.com

This is a very touchy subject for a lot of Optometrists/Ophthalmologists, or Eye Care Professionals (ECPs). I think the reason why the topic is sensitive is that when we release spectacle and contact lens prescriptions to our patients, it inherently means we must also release a couple very important things: some control over their care, and some revenue. And though neither of these are things over which we want to lose control, we must adapt to the new rules that govern the way we practice.
