The medical use of contact lenses is a solution for many complex ocular conditions, including high refractive error, irregular astigmatism, primary and secondary corneal ectasia, disfiguring disease, and ocular surface disease. The development of highly oxygen permeable soft and rigid materials has extended the suitability of contact lenses for such applications. There is consistent evidence that bandage soft contact lenses, particularly silicone hydrogel lenses, improve epithelial healing and reduce pain in persistent epithelial defects, after trauma or surgery, and in corneal dystrophies. Drug delivery applications of contact lens hold promise for improving topical therapy. Modern scleral lens practice has achieved great success for both visual rehabilitation and therapeutic applications, including those requiring retention of a tear reservoir or protection from an adverse environment. This report offers a practical and relevant summary of the current evidence for the medical use of contact lenses for all eye care professionals including optometrists, ophthalmologists, opticians, and orthoptists. Topics covered include indications for use in both acute and chronic conditions, lens selection, patient selection, wear and care regimens, and recommended aftercare schedules. Prevention, presentation, and management of complications of medical use are reviewed.

Since the Introduction of the intraocular implant, the role of the contact lens in aphakia has been problematical. A comparison Is possible between the two appliances, not only as to function, but also as to morbidity of pathology and the advisibillty of use over the whole spectrum of aphakia. The role of the contact lens can be considered as to the type of aphakia best suited for the appliance as well as with regard to the type of lenses now available and the practitioner's ability to use lenses in the extremes of age, i.e. infancy and senility. The subject is considered both from the aspect of bilateral and unilateral application and indications given where in the author's opinion, the intraocular implant may have a better prognosis.
