Cosmetic contact lenses pose risk of injury


Cosmetic contact lenses pose risk of injury
Over the counter cosmetic contact lenses-- the kind that make human eyes look like those of cats, lizards and aliens or make a blue eye purple-- pose a risk of serious eye injury. Health Canada's Hugh Davis said the main concern with over the counter cosmetic lenses is that they are not personally fitted to eyes, as prescription lenses are. Improperly fitting lenses can interfere with oxygen flow to the cornea and cause infection.
