Circle Contact Lenses Made Famous By Popstars Like Lady Gaga Are Dangerous
Fashion conscious teenagers are risking their eyesight by trying to copy a fashion fad made famous by popstar Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s wide-eyed look from her Bad Romance video is a trend that is growing in popularity.
Even though the video was release sometime ago, the trend of circle contact lenses is ever increasing, leading to strict health warnings from eyecare professionals.
It is likely digital technology helped Lady Gaga achieve the wide-eyed look rather than circle contact lenses says Adam Matt, eyecare specialist at lensdrop.com
“There is a big risk to the health of people, especially teenagers, who are buying these circle contact lenses without any supervision from an optician or eyecare professional.”
The manga-inspired circle contact lenses, which come in a variety of colours, are hugley popular in Japan and South Korea.
There were indications that many people were buying the contact lenses from abroad which could lead to disasterous consequences, Mr Matt added.
He added:”The message from me is clear – stay away. When buying any type of contact lenses you need to make sure you consult those who are in the eyecare world who can give you the best advice.
“Circle lenses is not worth risking your eyesight over and this is one one trend definitely not worth following.”
