(Medical-NewsWire.com, October 25, 2013 ) LINCOLN, NE – From the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Homeland Security Investigations to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they are all working on Operation Double Vision in order to seize counterfeit or illegally imported lenses not approved by the FDA.
While colored contact lenses may add that extra dramatic effect you have been searching for to add to this year’s Halloween costume, it may come with serious or permanent eye damage.
So, you may be wondering; what is so dangerous about these contact lenses? Well, the danger is that lenses that are not properly fitted by an eye care professional may result in many different problems including:
• Blurred vision
• Blindness
• Blood vessels grow into cornea
• Corneal abrasions
• Corneal ulcers
• Dry eyes
• Excessive watering
• Eye infections
• Reduced vision
• Sensitivity to light
• Unusual eye secretions
Although several businesses continue to sell these items, it is illegal to do so. If a retailer is caught selling these contacts to an individual without a prescription they may be fined $11,000 per violation.
At Inkelaar Law, our Lincoln personal injury attorneys believe that if you have experienced any eye damage by colored contact lenses that were purchased without a prescription, and you were not made aware of the side effects, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses and damages.
