Patient Perspective
Why listening to patients leads to better AK care.
AK is traumatic and often misunderstood. Listening to patients is essential for better understanding, care and real change.
“I wish I had never experienced AK. I didn’t know that contact lenses and water don’t mix, and I couldn’t find the support I needed. No AK warrior should feel alone. Patients deserve knowledge, doctors need to understand our perspective, and every contact lens user should know how to protect their sight.”
Juliette Vila Sinclair – Spence
