The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is taking steps to improve contact lens safety by reminding consumers of the importance of following proper cleaning and storing procedures. The FDA is also telling consumers that those who do not follow instructions for contact lens care and use increase their risk of serious eye infections that can lead to blindness.
To support proper cleaning and storage, the FDA has developed a new video on contact lens safety, which can be found on the FDA's website at http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/videos/cdrh/contactlens.wmv
