“Many individuals do not realize that contact lenses are medical devices, much like syringes or inhalers.  Finding the right contact lens is a technical process that involves measuring the curvature of the eye and finding the right fitting lens.  Much like shoes, they are not one size fits all.  Also, the lens material that most cosmetic lenses are made from is not very permeable to oxygen.  This can deprive the cornea of oxygen and greatly increase the risk of infection.”

Contact lenses are prescription devices and it is illegal to buy or sell contact lenses without an authorized prescription from an eye care professional.  There have been many reports of gas stations and mall kiosks selling cosmetic lenses without a prescription.  Longview Eye Associates recommends steering clear of these lenses and reporting these businesses to the proper authorities.

With a proper ocular health examination and contact lens fitting, colored contact lenses can be a safe and fun way to enhance or change your natural eye color, but without the expertise of an eye care professional, these lenses can cause sight-threatening damage.

All of us here at Longview Eye Associates hope you have a safe and happy Halloween!

According to the World Health Organization, 80% of all visual impairment can be avoided or cured, and 90% of the world’s visually impaired people live in developing countries.  The doctors of Longview Eye Associates are proud to participate in this program and are encouraging all our patients on October 13th to consider the optomap retinal examination.  We thank you for the continued honor to serve the Longivew area as well as participating in the effort to prevent blindness around the world.
