Topic: Contact Lenses
Following the warnings issued by the state of Connecticut, an article in the New York Times, and a column in EyeWitness, the American Academy of Ophthalmology issued the following statement: The AAO “would like to alert consumers to the hazards of buying any decorative lenses, including circle lenses, without a prescription. Any type of contact lens is a medical device that requires a prescription, proper fitting by an eye care professional and a commitment to proper care by the consumer.”
