Industry retailers and wholesalers are taking measures to decrease
health risks concerning the use and handling of decorative or colored contacts, asserts MagicAngelEyes.com,
a Dallas, TX based online distributor. The
site staff report that major manufacturers of the lenses are working to
increase consumer awareness of proper usage and care for contacts, through
specialty sites and related resources.
These comments come in response to some health advisories,
such as one reported on Nippon
TV news in Asia, that the popular lenses may cause “a rising number of eye
ailments associated with trendy color contact lenses.” The story noted health
authorities themselves were issuing pamphlets to show contact users how to wash
their lenses, and other tips. “Consumers
need to know that permanent eye damage can occur from using non-prescription
circle lenses,” says Dr. Thomas Steinemann of the American Academy of
Ophthalmology. “Personally, I have seen far too many serious cases in both
children and adults from using decorative lenses.”
Doctors also note that color contacts are often purchased
online without a prescription, which authorities say may contribute to eye
ailments. Besides legal issues involved in the order depending on the jurisdiction,
say industry observers, the non-prescribed lenses may affect the vision of
users who need the prescription version. MagicAngelEyes.com staff informs
consumers to obtain their lenses only from reputable distributors or outlets,
and to ask their optometrist for which color lenses may be best, because they
are proficient in harmonizing lenses with faces. It is also suggested that consumers
get their doctor’s permission to try contact lens for a short period of time so
that they become sure if they are right for them.
