Contact lenses revolutionized the world of vision care back in 1971 when the first mass-produced soft lenses were introduced by Bausch + Lomb, adding an extra bit of convenience for those in need of vision correction. However, even though the materials they are made with are generally composed of recyclable plastic and/or foil, they are too small for most standard recycling centers. Today, Bausch + Lomb is looking to change that with their ONE by ONE recycling program, which gives consumers a quick and easy way to recycle their contact lenses, blister packs, and foil, free of charge. We spoke with Gina Wesley, O.D., an optometrist from Complete Eye Care in Minnesota and a proponent of the program, about the initiative and what it means for the future of sustainable eye care.
