Moorfields launches contact lens safety campaign
Moorfield’s Eye Hospital has launched a campaign to increase awareness around safe contact lens wear. The Healthy Habits, Healthy Eyes campaign is aimed at students heading off to university – one of the highest risk groups – and has been timed to coincide with fresher’s week.
The awareness drive comes in response to an increase in serious external eye infections seen in centres throughout the country, chiefly an increase in the prevalence of Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK).
