🌙 READY FOR BED? DON’T FORGET YOUR CONTACT LENSES!

After a long day, removing your contact lenses might be the last thing on your mind. But your eye care routine matters, even when you’re tired! 👁️

Before going to sleep:
🧼 Wash and dry your hands.
👁️ Remove your lenses as directed.
💧 Clean and store reusable lenses using the recommended solution.
🗓️ Replace your lenses according to your prescribed schedule.

🐕🦺 GUIDE DOGS DO MORE THAN GUIDE.

Guide dogs help people who are blind or have low vision navigate their surroundings with greater confidence and independence. 💙

They do more than help their handlers move from place to place. They build trust, support mobility and help make everyday journeys more accessible.

✨ This is your reminder to:
🐾 Respect a working guide dog.
🐾 Never distract or feed a guide dog without permission.
🐾 Always ask the handler before offering assistance.

Let’s recognise the incredible difference guide dogs make and continue building a more inclusive world.
