Contact Lens Fit Troubleshooting & Clinical Documentation
Diagnose contact lens fit problems and generate clinical documentation
What You Can Do
This skill guides you through a systematic troubleshooting process when patients present with contact lens discomfort, poor vision, or fitting issues. You'll work through a clinical decision tree that considers patient factors, lens parameters, material properties, and proven diagnostic sequences to isolate the root cause and explore solution pathways. The skill then helps you document findings with the specificity required for clinical records and practitioner communication.
Features
systematically work through patient history, comfort complaints, and visual symptoms using a guided decision tree
differentiate between fit-related, material-related, care-related, and patient adaptation issues
assess and recommend adjustments to base curve, diameter, power, and design based on clinical findings
address specific complaints like burning, grittiness, foreign body sensation, and end-of-day irritation with targeted solutions
identify causes of ghosting, halos, blur, and fluctuating clarity, then recommend corrective actions
generate detailed patient records with objective findings, assessment summary, and intervention plan
format complex cases for communication to prescribing practitioners with specific parameters and concerns
provide evidence-based recommendations for optimal lens choices based on patient presentation
Example Output
Example 1: End-of-Day Discomfort Case
Patient Presentation: 28-year-old myope, new to soft daily disposables, reports burning and grittiness after 6-8 hours of wear
Assessment Output:
- Chief Complaint: Burning sensation, grittiness (bilateral, onset ~6pm)
- Root Cause Analysis: Likely combination of (1) lens dehydration due to high Dk lens selection, (2) insufficient blinking during computer work, (3) environmental factors (low humidity)
- Clinical Findings: Lens movement 0.5-1mm (optimal), fluorescein pattern good, no limbal injection
- Recommendation: Trial silicone hydrogel lens with higher water content; instruct on scheduled blinking; consider rewetting drops
- Follow-up: 48-hour check-in to assess comfort improvement
Example 2: Asymmetrical Fit/Vision Issue
Patient Presentation: 45-year-old presbyope reports blurred vision OD only, lens feels loose in right eye after 4 hours
Assessment Output:
- Chief Complaint: Reduced vision OD, loose fit sensation
- Clinical Exam: Lens movement OD 1.5-2mm (excess); ON-K readings show OD 42.75D vs OS 42.50D
- Root Cause: Base curve too flat for OD steeper cornea; excessive movement causes decentration and lens rotation
- Recommendation: Steepen base curve OD by 0.3mm; consider increasing lens diameter for stability
- Referral Note: Submitted to prescribing practitioner with K readings, current lens parameters, and movement measurements
- Patient Education: New parameters will be trialed at next visit; expected improvement in stability and vision clarity
What's Included
- SKILL.md instruction file with clinical assessment framework and troubleshooting decision tree:

Best For
- Diagnosing end-of-day discomfort, burning, grittiness, and foreign body sensations
- Identifying causes of poor vision quality (ghosting, halos, blur, fluctuating clarity)
- Assessing asymmetrical fits (one eye different from the other) and loose or tight lens movement
- Evaluating patient adaptation issues and compliance challenges during the critical post-fitting period
- Generating clinical documentation and referral communications to prescribing practitioners
- Optimizing lens material and parameter selection for specific patient presentations
