Abstract
The use of soft contact lenses for myopia correction is increasing in many countries. It is therefore important for contact lens practitioners to be properly educated in fitting these lenses. Before fitting lenses, it is important to consider the factors and procedures related to soft contact lens fitting, indications and contraindications of fitting soft contact lenses. In this article, the functions and activities involved in preliminary, fitting and delivery consultations will be presented.
