EACH YEAR, we look at what topics have stood out to our readership. As in past years, our Annual Report and the International Contact Lens Prescribing features were two of the top reads in 2024. It is interesting to note that up-and-coming technologies and fresh takes on traditional contact lens-related topics have also placed high. Here, we present our top 10 articles released in 2024, as of early October.

Looking to next year, we are currently soliciting feedback to include as part of our Contact Lens Spectrum Annual Report, which we have published yearly for as long as I can remember. You can contribute by filling out our survey at surveymonkey.com/r/CLSProfile2024. This information is vital to our readership, as we look at very important trends in the contact lens industry and try to predict the trends that will occur in the near and distant future in this specialty space. As we conclude this calendar year, let us not forget all of the opportunities that we have ahead of us in 2025. Happy holidays and thank you all (readers, sponsors, and team members) for all you do for Contact Lens Spectrum! See you next year.
