WhitneyRound Contact Lenses Are Not Safe
July 6th 2010 18:37
There are many websites that sell these contacts for about $20 a box, which doesn't sound that bad, but when you experience complications, that $20 box will end up costing a lot more.
These lenses carry the same risks as regular corrective contacts, but the difference is that because they are illegal to purchase, the websites who are selling them, do not fit them to an individual's eyes. Because everyone's corneas and eyes are shaped different, manufacturers just can't mass produce a one-size-fits-all contact lens. Generally, the lens are resized and re-shaped to fit different eyes. These aren't.
Buying contacts online is one thing, as reputable sellers will ask for the fit, but these are contraband contacts that can really mess up your eyes, and potentially cause sight loss. They may seem cool because you get that childish, anime look with very little whites in the eyes, but is the trend really worth it?
If you opt for these or any other decorative contacts, you want to be very careful. Try purchasing the fancy contact lenses from a local eye doctor, as he will be able to order them specifically for you. Unfortunately, you won't be able to find the circle contacts any time soon at the eye doctor.

They showed a few contestants putting them in and I was shocked at how big they made their eyes appear. It's scary what people are willing to do to attain a certain look.
