Is Fashion Worth Your Vision?

Did you know?  New eye fads have surfaced lately in the fashion community. Contact's that make your eyes larger to give different effects or unnatural hue's have surfaced.  These lenses not only cover your iris they also cover part of the whites of your eye.  It is illegal in the United States to sell any contact lenses corrective or cosmetic without a prescription; in fact, no major contact lens manufacturers make these lenses.  However, these lenses are sold widely online and are becoming more widespread across the Internet.  You should always buy your contacts from a trusted eye doctor or manufacturer to avoid eye infection that could potentially lead to blindness!  Remember, you only have one set of eyes so don't abuse them for fashion!
