Untitled Document



Do you have diabetes? Does this make you unsure of whether or not you can wear contact lenses? Well you're not alone. Diabetes is well known for causing many vision related problems, including fluctuating vision and blindness.

You will also be provided with an appropriate wearing schedule that will ensure that your eyes are remaining healthy while you are wearing the contact lenses. Don't give up on contact lenses before you even consider them!
