Patients with dry eye syndrome, keratitis or blepharitis in the anamnesis are unsuccessful candidates for the appointment of prolonged wearing lenses.

Among those who use this mode of wearing are patients with high degree myopia or those who are looking for a non-surgical alternative to LASIK. The doctor should carefully examine the patient at the end of the "cycle" of wearing lenses and assess their condition.

It would be desirable to emphasize the fact that if the contact lens is approved by the American Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for prolonged wearing, this does not mean that the eyes of any patient will carry such lenses and this mode of wearing.
