Together for Education, Prevention and Support

Acanthamoeba Keratitis has a profound impact on the lives of those who experience it. Patient stories reveal the physical, emotional, and financial challenges of this rare infection — and they show why education, early recognition, and safer habits matter so deeply. These lived experiences guide our mission and remind us why awareness is essential.

Awareness begins with understanding. By sharing reliable information through social media, newsletters, events, and everyday conversations, you help amplify patient voices and bring greater clarity to your community. Every conversation, post, or shared resource helps others recognise the seriousness of AK and the importance of prevention.

You can support this effort in many ways — by talking about safe contact lens habits, sharing patient stories, connecting with local groups, or introducing our work to people in watersports, education, healthcare, the contact lens industry, or public health. Your outreach can help us reach those who need this information most.

If you’d like ready‑to‑use materials to support your awareness efforts, you’ll find leaflets, images, research, and more on our Resources page.

Awareness grows when we work together.

Let’s connect and see how we can support each other.
