Advantage Communications, Inc. to Partner with Arkansas State Board of Optometry

Advantage Communications, Inc. – a full service marketing, advertising, and public relations agency – will partner with the Arkansas State Board of Optometry to educate Arkansans on the dangers associated with wearing decorative contact lenses purchased online or in convenience stores.

The Arkansas State Board of Optometry is made up of licensed optometrists who work with the Arkansas Governor and Arkansas Attorney General to prepare optometrists to practice in Arkansas, award and renew licenses, provide continuing training, and enforce laws banning the illegal sale of decorative contact lenses.

“We are honored and excited to partner with the Arkansas State Board of Optometry,” said Michael Steele, President and CEO of Advantage Communications, Inc. “We are passionate about health issues affecting our neighbors and look forward to a successful public education initiative.”Decorative contact lenses (i.e. cosmetic tinted or Halloween design) can cause serious damage and, even, vision loss if worn without a prescription from a licensed eye-care professional.

“We have seen a lot of damage done by Arkansans – especially young people – wearing these decorative contact lenses without a prescription,” said Dr. Howard Flippin, O.D. and Executive Director of the Arkansas State Board of Optometry.  “We are looking forward to letting Arkansans know how dangerous these contacts can be without first consulting your doctor.”
