X-Cel Specialty Contacts recently announced it is continuing its #ChangingLives campaign, which helps provide specialty contact lenses to patients free of charge regardless of their economic and social status.
The #ChangingLives campaign was reportedly started in March 2015 as a means to assist those who are in need of vision correction, but have limited economic resources to do so. Many of the patients involved in the campaign are diagnosed as legally blind with irregular cornea problems, aphakia, and myopia, as well as other vision issues.
Since it began in March 2015, the X-Cel's #ChangingLives campaign has reportedly helped over 3,000 patients in over 65 countries.

#CHANGINGLIVES - X-CEL SPECIALTY CONTACTS CONTINUES PARTNERSHIP
WITH DOCTORS WORLDWIDE TO PROVIDE THE GIFT OF SIGHT
Duluth, GA – September 29, 2016 – X-Cel Specialty Contacts partners with doctors around the world to provide specialty contact lenses free of charge regardless of a patient’s economic and social status. Since, March 2015, over three thousand patients in over sixty-five countries have benefited from the #ChangingLives campaign.
X-Cel’s #ChangingLives campaign was born as a means to assist the millions of people who are in desperate need of vision correction but have limited economic resources and are unable to get the help they need. If they are able to visit an eye care professional, they often do not have sufficient means to purchase the contact lenses diagnosed for their condition. Many of the patients involved in the campaign are diagnosed as legally blind with irregular cornea problems, aphakia, and myopia, among others. The outstanding success of the campaign is owed to the practitioners serving the optical industry worldwide who not only donate their time and resources to those who cannot afford vision care, but do so with admirable compassion and generosity. Derrell James, Vice President and General Manager of X-Cel states, “There is nothing more rewarding than being a part of a movement that is changing thousands of lives around the world through the use of specialty contact lenses. Experiencing the elation of a patient who can see their child or parent clearly for the first time, and knowing we had a part in fundamentally improving their lives is the greatest reward.”
