For a previous GP wearer with new lenses, what should the follow-up schedule include?

• A. order lenses and schedule for dispense, A+R training
• B. review wear and care regimen only
• C. order lenses and schedule for dispense, review wear and care regimen
• D. A+R training only

Answer: (C)

When a patient who already wears GP lenses gets a new set, the follow-up should cover both getting the lenses ordered and scheduled for the dispense, and a thorough review of wear and care. Ordering ensures the correct lenses are obtained and the patient knows when to come in to pick them up or have the final fitting completed. Reviewing wear and care establishes how to insert, remove, clean, disinfect, store, and replace the lenses, which is crucial for GP lenses that rely on precise, careful handling to maintain corneal health and comfort. If you only focus on dispensing or only on training, you miss essential steps that ensure proper lens fit and safe, effective wear. So the best approach combines arranging the lenses for dispense with a comprehensive review of wear and care.
