Methods: This multi-site study was a retrospective chart review of the status of neophyte CL wearers ?tted in representative UK eye care practices. Results: Consecutive records for 524 patients at 29 sites were reviewed. Mean age at dispensing was 34 years (range 8–79), 68% were under 45 years and 61% female. Soft CLs were ?tted to 98% of patients. After 12 months, 388 were still CL wearers, a retention rate of 74% (95% CI: 70.1–77.6). Of the 136 lapsed, 25% discontinued during the ?rst month and 47% within 60 days. The main reasons cited for discontinuation included poor distance vision (26%; of whom, 37% were toric and 51% multifocal), poor near vision (16%), discomfort (14%) and handling problems (15%).

Signi?cant factors associated with retention in univariate analysis were: age (younger), sphere power (higher), lens type (sphere vs multifocal) and purchase frequency (regular). Multivariate analysis showed lens sphere power, purchase frequency and lens material to be signi?cant factors. There was a wide variation in rete
