Dear Colleague,

Contact lens (CL) practice across the world is at critical juncture with some potential opportunities like contact lenses for myopia control, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, specialty lenses etc and few looming threats such as increasing competition from online business. Anecdotal discussions with eye care professionals have revealed different level of optimism regarding the future of CL practice. Hence, we wish to conduct this study to understand the views of contact lens practitioners regarding what they perceive as opportunities and threats to CL practice. The findings of this study will help the stakeholders to design targeted strategies to enhance CL practice and address the perceived threats.

We would appreciate it, if you could complete the attached brief survey; completion of which is expected to take about 5 minutes. The questions are quite general and there are no known or anticipated risks to participation in this study. Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. All information you provide will be kept confidential.
