Between 24 and 30 March 2018, SynergEyes UK will be joining forces with optometrists, contact lens opticians, and contact lens manufacturers and retailers across the UK to celebrate Love Your Lenses Week 2018. 

Contact lenses are loved by millions of people and, if looked after properly, they are safe. However, research shows that not all contact lens wearers know how to look after their lenses properly. 

Love Your Lenses week is an opportunity to celebrate the many benefits that contact lenses can bring while also reminding wearers of the importance of treating their lenses with love and respect.

The key message for contact lens wearers is: “Don’t lose sight of your optician!” 

As well as being a prime time for contact lens wearers to make an aftercare appointment if they’ve not had one in a while, it’s an ideal opportunity for eye care practitioners to remind contact lens wearers about how to get the best out of their contact lenses to ensure happy and healthy lens wear. 

The specific focus for Love Your Lenses Week 2018 is on hand-washing and reminding all contact lens wearers to: “Wash hands and dry before touching your eye.”
