CLARE follow-up is typically scheduled after how long?

• A. Two weeks.
• B. One week.
• C. Three days.
• D. One month.

Answer: (B)

In managing CLARE, the plan is to recheck after initial treatment to ensure the inflammation is resolving and to adjust care if needed. Scheduling a follow-up around one week allows enough time for noticeable improvement after removing lenses and starting therapy, while still catching any persistent inflammation before it progresses. A shorter interval may not show meaningful change and could lead to unnecessary changes, whereas longer intervals risk progression or complications if the condition isn’t improving. If symptoms worsen at any point, the patient should be seen sooner for urgent reassessment.
