Promoting good contact lens hygiene

To coincide with the GOC’s Love Your Lenses week, 24-30 March, we’ve created a new 60 second patient advice video. Tying in with the theme of the 2018 awareness week of washing and drying hands properly, the video provides a step-by-step guide for contact lens users to ensure their hands are clean. 

The video can be shared on social media, in your practice or on your website and is free to download using the links below:
