Peterlee opticians marks Contact Lens Health Week with special awareness day

This week, the Specsavers Peterlee team held its Contact Lens Awareness Day to inform customers of the availability and specification of lenses, the benefits of wearing contacts and demonstrations on how to use them in a safe manner.

Colleagues also handed out leaflets and goody bags, and held a competition to guess how many contact lenses were in a jar and a spin the wheel game, too.

The store, based in the Castle Dene Shopping Centre, is locally owned and run by the director team of Mark Huddart and Joanne Gallagher, and specialises in hearing care as well as eye health.

Joanne Gallagher, retail director at Specsavers Peterlee, says: ‘It was important for us to mark Contact Lens Health Week with this special event, which we felt was informative and useful to our customer base.

‘Both existing and prospective contact lens customers were able to gain a better understanding of our offering as a store.

‘At Specsavers Peterlee, there is no one size fits all approach when it comes to eye health, and we will always strive to find the best solution for each individual.’

Specsavers Peterlee optometrists are experts in looking after people’s vision and managing their eye health.

If you do notice something unusual with your eyes or vision, you should make an appointment with your optometrist as soon as possible.
