A report in “Contact Lens Spectrum” claims that in study in the US by a group of three Doctors, found that inappropriate advice and information was being given to members of the public and customers by sales staff of Internet and direct sales companies.

The Doctors Asked Questions relating to lens specifications and the use of alternative cleaning and sterilisation solutions, and were given false or misleading information by sales Staff.

The Doctors Claim that filling a prescription improperly, or giving incorrect contact lens advice has potential clinical and Legal ramifications for both patient and Practitioners.      # 23 FEB 2001
