I recently purchased Flura-safe for my practice, which is advertised to be a "safe way" to check pressures in a contact lens practice, meaning that just after checking pressures with it, contact lenses can be safely inserted without irrigation, and that the dye will not stain the contacts.
However, I have had several patients complain that their eyes "feel funny" and "uncomfortable" after inserting the contacts following tonometry. Is this product really okay to use for tonometry, and then have patients insert contact lenses immediately after without any irrigation? Just curious how most doctors perform contact lens fittings along with applanation tonometry? (Fitting first? or tonometry first?)
