CIBA awards Changing Lives iPad

More than 200 eye care practitioners submitted stories on how contact lenses have changed their patients' lives to CIBA Vision's Changing Lives competition, with optometry graduate Simon Kaneria the winner of the iPad prize draw.

The prize draw was launched at CIBA's Big Fit roadshows as part of its Fit for Life programme, launched last year to help practitioners fit young wearers with contact lenses and retain them for life.

'We know that contact lenses have a massive impact on the lives of patients. We hear incredible stories from our customers all the time and many of us know from working in practice just what a difference they can make,' said clinical affairs manager Jayne Schofield. She added that Kaneria's story of a high myope who was successfully fitted with monthly lenses was particularly poignant.
