Contact Lens Dropouts

Each year, approximately 3.8 million new wearers join the more than 30 million Americans who wear contact lenses. While many of these patients remain satisfied with their lenses, others begin to experience dissatisfaction. Many factors contribute to this dissatisfaction including:

  • the lenses' inability to correct age-related vision issues (presbyopia)
  • inconvenience of lens wear
  • shortcomings in lens materials
  • complicated care regimens
  • noncompliance with recommendations of the eye care professional

Together, these elements lead to an estimated 3 million lens wearers dropping out each year.1

For many patients, the final decision to abandon contact lens wear is based on comfort. The sensation of dryness, especially at the end of the day, can cause a significant amount of discomfort for patients.

OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® MPDS uses TearGlyde® to recondition lenses and POLYQUAD® for compatible disinfection. Together, these unique agents help make OPTI-FREE® RepleniSH® a true enhancer of lens comfort.
