It is reported that the Director General of Health Services Dr. Asela Gunawardena said at a press conference held in Colombo that the statements made by some parties that there is a shortage of contact lenses in a number of eye units across the country, led by the National Eye Hospital, are false, and that eye surgeries are going on as usual in the hospitals concerned.
In this regard, the General Manager of the State Pharmaceutical Legalized Corporation, Mr. Dinusha Dasanayake stated that there will be no shortage of contact lenses based on the existing stock of contact lenses and the stocks that have been ordered.
