What is the most common reason patients stop wearing contact lenses?

  1. Non-compliance

  2. Alternating esotropia

  3. Visual field testing

  4. Perimetry

The correct answer is: Non-compliance

The most common reason patients stop wearing contact lenses is because of non-compliance. This means that they do not follow the instructions on how to properly use and care for the lenses. This can lead to discomfort, infections, or complications with the eyes. Alternating esotropia, visual field testing, and perimetry are not related to the wearing of contact lenses and are therefore incorrect choices for this question. Alternating esotropia is a specific type of eye condition, while visual field testing and perimetry are both tests used to assess the visual field and detect any issues with vision.
