Concern over fashion lenses

EYE experts are warning about the dangers of wearing cosmetic contact lenses this Halloween.

Optometrists have identified complications associated with the items and say they could cause permanent loss of vision.

Lynda Mcgivney Nolan, of the Association of Optometrists Ireland, said: “Cosmetic contact lenses are more difficult to clean and sterilise because of the materials and pigments which colour them.”
