Sheila Hickson-Curran, BSc (Hons), MCOptom, FAAO, director of medical affairs, VISTAKON Division Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc., said, “Through this new tool, we hope to complement eyecare professionals in helping patients learn how to get the full benefits of their contact lenses and help lessen the risk for infection or other serious complications, such as microbial keratitis. Healthy Vision & Contact Lenses offers helpful “Do’s and Don’ts” for handling and wearing contact lenses and offers some easy-to-follow steps on how to reduce the risk of contact lens-related infection through proper use and care of contact lenses as well as lens-care products such as contact lens cases. It also includes a section for ECPs and/or staff to fill out with patients to reinforce replacement schedules, proper cleaning and disinfecting techniques, and a reminder on when to change their contact lens case. Information about other resources where consumers can find helpful information about proper wear and care is also included. Healthy Vision & Contact Lenses is available in both PDF and print versions. The PDF copies, which practitioners can customize/personalize to include their contact information, can be viewed and downloaded
here. The print versions include 50 tear-sheets on a pad. To request a pad, send your name and address to
