Contact Lens Institute™ (CLI) has updated The EASY Way (Eyes, Awareness, Safety and You), its initiative that helps the eye care community discuss healthy contact lens wear-and-care routines with patients.
The program’s practice-ready infographics, social media graphics, animations and more now include additional guidance for keeping contact lenses away from water. These patient education materials are available in English, Spanish, French, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese for free download via The EASY Way resource page.
In parallel, CLI has published two YouTube Shorts that explain how The EASY Way can become part of new wearer insertion and removal training. They feature several 2026 CLI Visionaries:
