Cosmetic Color Contacts Horror Story
A second year high school student who wore a pair of cosmetic contact lens she purchased from a nearby grocery store. She bought those green shade tints in order to match the hue of her tennis shoes.
At night, she removed the new contacts. But in the morning, she found herself waking up in pain with one inflaming eye while the other was oozing. The cosmetic contact lens the 15 year old girl wore was without any prescription.
One of the most vital parts of her human body was infected which took about a whole year of treatment. Worst, it even required a cornea transplant in order to save her vision from a permanent blindness. Until now, her sight has not yet been restored to the original condition.
As she was interviewed, she explained that cosmetic color contacts are one of the
cheap ways to enhance an outer appearance. She was only able to pay $25 and
further said that she was all the more attracted because it was worn by a lot of
other teenagers. The color contacts were very convenient to buy because they can be
acquired even in gasoline stations.
Experts Opinion About Non Prescription Colored Contacts
According to executive director of Contact Lens Institute, Ed Schilling, non prescription color contact lenses have been easily put on sale by retailers. Online, there are even countless websites that sell them without any prescription.
Dr. James Saviola from the American Food and Drug Administration said that the selling of non prescription cosmetic colored contacts has to be stopped as soon as possible because there can be more potential victims.
