Management of eye conditions in primary care

For contact lens wearing patients.

Published: 28 August 2024

Following discussion with the College of Optometrists we would like to highlight our guidance on Chloramphenicol (P Medicines).

This includes a section on advice for contact lens wearers. People presenting with symptoms of conjunctivitis in community pharmacy should seek advice from an optician, optometrist or doctor before using chloramphenicol.
