What is the purpose of the Contact Lens Parameter Guide (CLPG)?

The Contact Lens Parameter Guide (CLPG) serves a specific purpose related to providing detailed information about the characteristics and specifications of various available contact lenses. This guide is an important resource for eye care professionals, as it compiles data such as lens materials, design options, base curves, and diameters, enabling practitioners to make informed decisions when fitting patients with contact lenses.

The information in the CLPG aids in understanding how different lens parameters can affect overall fitting and patient comfort, as well as vision correction. Thus, when selecting contact lenses for individual patients, practitioners can reference the guide to ensure that they choose lenses that meet both the patients' needs and the clinical requirements. This emphasizes the role of the CLPG in optimizing patient care and ensuring effective contact lens prescriptions.
