Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
In the early days of contact lenses (1970s and 1980s) contact lenses were not regularly replaced, leading to lens discomfort and adverse ocular reactions. Regular lens replacement was introduced in the late 1980s. Regular lens replacement avoids long-term adverse changes in contact lenses, such as surface deposits, irreversible water loss and lens damage and crazing. Also, long-term changes in the anterior eye are avoided, such as discomfort, reduced vision and ocular pathology. Issues relating to lens packaging and lens reproducibility are discussed, and well as principles of practice management in respect of prescribing these lenses. Strategies for guiding patients away from using alternative supply routes, in their own interests, are discussed.
