Did you know that 20% of Americans flush their contact lenses down the toilet?

As new information emerges daily about the dangers of plastics to the environment, we're pleased to be able to offer a recycling facility for disposable contact lenses.

We have special recycling bins for both the contact lenses themselves and the blister packs that they come in at our practices in Woodseats and Crosspool.

A study carried out by scientists from Arizona State University found that 20% of contact lens wearers flush their contacts down the sink or toilet. The recycling bins can be used for daily disposable and monthly or two weekly disposable soft lenses.
