FDA Reminding Consumers About The Importance of Contact Lens Care

The FDA is taking steps to help promote contact lens safety by reminding contact lens wearers of the importance of regular, proper cleaning and storage for contact lenses. Patients who don’t follow proper instructions for contact lens care have an increased risk of eye infections and other vision problems.

Always follow your doctors recommendations, and replace your contact lens case monthly.

To promote effective cleaning and storage, the FDA has published a video on contact lens safety, which can be found www.fda.gov.
