Spectacle lens and contact lens recycling in South Africa
light of global climate change. 7 Some optical companies have implemented recycling programmes for spectacle lenses and contact lenses in the United States (US), United Kingdom (UK) and European Union 8,9,10,11 ; however, to date no such recycling schemes exist in South Africa (SA). Spectacle frame degradation has been previously explored 3 ; hence, the purpose of this review article is to present the current outlook, barriers experienced and potential measures that could be adopted to encourage the recycling of plastic spectacle lenses and contact lenses in SA.
