Contact Lens Health Week

The CDC has designated August 20-24, 2018 as the fifth annual Contact Lens Health Week. This year’s campaign theme is “Healthy habits mean healthy eyes” with a focus on encouraging all contact lens wearers to practice healthy habits now, for healthy eyes later. Increased awareness about the importance of proper contact lens hygiene can encourage contact lens wearers to adopt healthy habits that can reduce their chances of getting an eye infection. This year’s health messages cover three key areas:

  1. Healthy contact lens hygiene habits
  2. Proper use, care, and storage of contact lenses and supplies
  3. Regular visits to an eye care provider

Take care of your eyes by following these simple tips:
