Contact lens and lens storage case cleaning instructions: whose advice should we follow?
To identify and compare the current contact lens and lens storage case hygiene recommendations amongst three different advisory sources: manufacturers of contact lens disinfecting solutions, the Food and Drug Administration of USA, and optometrists prescribing contact lenses in New South Wales, Australia. ⋯ Inconsistent and inadequate contact lens and lens case hygiene recommendations remain prevalent amongst various advisory bodies (industry, regulatory authority, and optometrists). Future research is needed to establish evidence-based contact lens hygiene guidelines.
