CONTACT LENS VIDEO NOW ONLINE

Washington, DC... Consumers can now view an online video on how to properly insert or remove a contact lens. The video, custom-produced by The Contact Lens Council (CLC), offers step-by-step instructions and can be viewed on its website at www.contactlenscouncil.org/video.htm

The three-minute video demonstrates the proper way to insert and remove a contact lens, and tips on proper lens care. The video has subtitles and voiceover for universal comprehension, along with a printable fact sheet of detailed instructions.

According to Edward Schilling, Executive Director of the Contact Lens Council, "Many visitors to the CLC website have requested information on how to properly insert and remove their contact lenses. In response to these requests, we have produced the video to provide an easy-to-follow demonstration."
