International contact lens prescribing 2002

This paper presents our second annual survey of international contact lens prescribing trends. From January to March 2002, we analyzed contact lens prescribing habits in eight countries: Australia, Canada, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. With the exception of Norway and Singapore (545 and 390 surveys, respectively), 1,000 questionnaires were randomly sent out to a cross section of contact lens practitioners.
