Why Love Your Lenses?
Contact lenses have changed millions of people’s lives for the better.
They are simple, convenient to use and many wearers feel they offer better and more natural all-round vision than spectacles. They can even help people to achieve life-long dreams, such as becoming professional athletes or West End stars!
If they are looked after properly and good hygiene practice is followed, contact lenses are safe.
Regular review appointments with your eye care practitioner are advised to ensure your eye health is maintained.

When contact lenses are not looked after properly, there is a risk of developing eye infections.
In most cases these infections can be treated fairly easily but will require you to not wear your lenses for a short period of time. However, in rare cases a much more serious infection called acanthamoeba keratitis can cause lasting damage with life-changing consequences.
By avoiding contact with water you can guard against these problems. Eye care practitioners can buy official BCLA 'No Water' stickers here
