Eye can see clearly now: FTC contact lens workshop set to start

Medical professionals, consumer advocates, industry members, and law enforcers are gathering in Washington right now in anticipation of today’s workshop, The Contact Lens Rule and the Evolving Contact Lens Marketplace. Panelists will scrutinize issues related to competition in the marketplace, consumer access to contact lenses, prescription release and portability, and other topics.

Even if you couldn’t make it to DC, you can be an eyewitness to the proceedings by watching the webcast. We’ll post a LIVE WEBCAST link minutes before the 9:00 ET start time. Or follow the conversation as FTC staff tweets from @FTC using the hashtag #ContactLensFTC
