REFRACTIVE ERROR of patients was less than 6 diopter in 80% and greater than 6 diopter in 15% of patients. Five percent of our patients had not REFRACTIVE ERROR and wore contact lens for cosmetic purposes.Using of contact lens for correction of refractory error or for cosmesis increase in Iran and it is mandatory to increase our knowledge about prevention and treatment of the complications.
