Contact Lens Recall Alert - Please Read

We at eColourContactLenses were very concerned  about a recall of Acuvue TruEye Brand contact lenses that I think you might be interested in reading.  I worry about damaging my eyes by wearing contact lenses but I try to be careful to clean and moisturize them properly and I hope you do to.

1 Day Acuvue contact lenses have been recalled by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) in 24 countries, not including the USA or Canada, following reports of irritation, stinging and pain among some users. ....................

The company believes the source of the problem is in the Republic of Ireland, where the product is produced.

The recall, which initially only affected Japan and some other Asian countries, is now extended to Australia, Germany, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, and Singapore.

White Coloured Contact Lenses for Halloween

Halloween is coming soon so I have been researching the different Coloured Contact Lenses that are available.  Is "white" a colour?

I found this article that I want to share.  It gave some great advice about wearing contact lenses.

All-White Coloured Contact Lenses are also known as ‘whiteout contact lenses’ and they will give any Halloween costume that extra scare factor. These white coloured contact lenses completely blank out your natural eye colour, giving you a really shocking look. These lenses will look best if your eyes are nice and clear – if your eyes get red it can spoil the all-white effect. Everyone’s eyes can get irritated when wearing contacts but there are a few tricks I recommend to combat red-eye.

1. Do not wear eye make up or other lenses prior to wearing all-white coloured contact lenses
2. 30 minutes before putting in your lenses, use redness reducing eye drops
3. Apply any make up carefully, ensuring that nothing gets into your eyes
4. Make sure your white coloured contact lenses are completely clean before inserting them – rinse them in lens solution a few times and check for signs of wear and tear
5. Avoid smoky environments – smoke dries out and irritates eyes
6. Drink plenty of water – this will help keep your eyes moist and fresh
