This paper was written for the general education of optometrists since few were skilled in haptic lens fitting. At the time contact lens fitting with corneal lenses was becoming more commonplace and haptic lenses less common. This is acknowledged by the author whio wrote the paper so that optometrists fitting corneal lenses would know how to handle haptic lenses should one of their patients present wearing them.
