Recycling of Contact Lenses and Packaging

There are several of you already doing this - thank you.
But for those who were not aware, we collect in contact lenses and contact lens packaging for recycling. Bring in the lenses and/or packaging and we will collect in our dedicated box, then when it gets full we send it for recycling. Refactory have provided a useful graphic to show what happens to it.
And we welcome contact lenses and packaging from all manufacturers, even when we have not supplied the lenses or even for people who don't use our eye care services.

You may remember the journey of our support for guide-dogs. Unfortunately, our first puppy Olive had to be taken out of training. Sadly, now, so has Barney - he was too strong, too excitable and easily distracted so has been redeployed as as a buddy-dog. I hope he will bring lots of joy to someone.
Our funding has been transferred to Hazel - she is a little younger and earlier on her training.
I know you will want to see her so here is her latest video:

Friday 13th may be unlucky for some, but for Bidford-on-Avon, this Friday lunchtime saw the welcome re-opening of Bidford Bridge to traffic, having been closed since an accident in the summer. People were having to make a 7 mile detour to cross the river in the meantime.
Thank you to all who got the work completed as efficiently as possible so that the bridge could be safely reopened.

Did you know that our vision consists of two subsystems – focus vision and peripheral vision?
Only when the two subsystems work together in harmony do we have optimal vision flow. B.I.G. EXACT® lenses from Rodenstock use a precise biometric eye model to create lenses tailored to your eyes, resulting in sharper vision and better brain support in the vision process, optimising your vision flow.
