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.
