Contact Lens Warning

Students wearing contact lenses should consult University officials immediately, Dr. Andrew Contratto, Associate Director of the University Health Services, warned yesterday.

"Recent reports assert that a certain wetting agent now used by wearers of contact lenses in their cleaning and wearing is harmful," Dr. Contratto stated. "Anyone in the University who wears contact lenses is advised to get in touch with his own ophthalmologist or with Health Service doctors as soon as possible."
