On the packaging of medical devices, you will find a variety of standardized symbols and labels – from the CE mark and the sterile symbol to the batch number and the open-jar symbol.
These pictograms are legally required and provide important information about origin, shelf life, storage, and safe use. Whether it's contact lens care products, eye drops, glasses care, or other medical devices: those who understand the meaning of the labels can correctly classify products, use them safely, and store them for longer.
