Why do contact lenses have expiration dates?

Wearing your contacts past their expiration date can cause your eyes to become dry and irritated due to a buildup of debris and allergens. This can lead to eye infections and corneal damage.

Why was Contact Lens Safety Month founded?

Every October, a non-profit eye health organization called Prevent Blindness encourages people to double down on contact lens safety. The organization's mission is to reduce avoidable vision loss by promoting eye health and educating lens wearers on ways to use and preserve their contact lenses.
