Going Green with Daily Disposable Contact Lenses
At our practice, we’re committed to making contact lens use more sustainable. Daily disposable lenses are convenient, but they can generate significant waste.

Patients can bring their used lenses and packaging to our office, where TerraCycle processes them into new products, keeping waste out of landfills and waterways. By recycling your contact lenses with us, you can enjoy the convenience of daily disposables while contributing to a healthier planet.
