Chinese Version in |
In the past, most of the Hong Kong citizens hardly concerned about the
importance of accuracy and professionalism of fitting contact lens and
spectacles dispensing, often resulting in chronic eye fatique, increasing
near-sightedness, etc. And, contact lens wearers often acquired improper
disinfecting system for their own use because of unprofessional instruction,
leading to allergic symptoms such as itching, deposited lens, lens slipping,
transient blurring of giant papillary conjunctivitis , or even bacterial
or acanthamoeba keratitis. Initial stage of squitting eyes and lazy
eyes (amblyopia) of children hadn't received earlier and proper therapy
resulting in permanent binocular anomalies affecting their self-confidence
and learning in school.
