We have produced a new leaflet ‘Buying cosmetic contact lenses’
aimed at public and patient representative groups, and members of the public.
The leaflet, which is also endorsed by the British Contact Lens Association, has two key messages:
- Only buy them from a legal source. You can risk serious damage to your eyes if you don’t.
- The GOC will take action against unregistered retailers selling these lenses illegally.

We have published new guidance for students, or potential students, with disabilities who wish to become an optometrist or dispensing optician.
On 23 September Fight for Sight's Carrots Nightwalk takes place in London. The 15 mile walk takes in some of London's most spectacular night-time sights and will raise money for research into conditions which cause sight loss.
