Did you know that your
contact lenses can be approved and sold by the FDA? If you don't know that,
then you should. That's right, the FDA has approved colored contact lenses for
the treatment of vision impairments such as myopia (farsightedness), presbyopia
(diminished sight at close distances), and astigmatism. And just recently
they've approved bifocals (crossed lenses) for the treatment of strabismus and
amblyopia. These lenses also have the added benefit of better comfort and reduced
glare.
To be accepted by the
FDA, products must be made in the approved containers, with labels that
indicate that the product meets the requirements and is generally recognized as
safe. Crazy colored contact lenses can get approved if they are filled with
appropriate minerals such as titanium and calcium and are therefore considered
safe. To do this free converter show, there has to be scientific data to back
up the claims of strength, safety and efficacy. And, if the FDA chooses not to
approve a product, then the company simply has to give a warning about the
potential hazards of using the product.
So how do you find out
whether or not a contact lens is FDA approved? The easiest way is to look at
the contact lenses box or the packaging. Does it contain FDA approval? If it
does, then you're good to go. If not, you will need to purchase your contacts
from another vendor.
If you're still
wondering about FDA approval, here's an interesting bit of information. Many
people, who have chosen colored contacts, have tried them only to wear them for
a short time because the lenses began to dry out and cause irritation. FDA
approved contacts are usually sealed in their own little box and sealed with a
plastic case, like a hard plastic zipper bag.
Are there any other options
for FDA approved contact lenses? The second option is to pay a small fee and
join a discounted monthly contact lenses visit site. With these sites, you can
choose from a huge selection of products. Some even allow you to buy daily wear
products, just for the cost of a membership.
If you're looking for a
special eye color, you should know that a contact lenses company will often
offer a service to match your eyes with shades that are appropriate for your
skin tone. However, if you are looking for shades to wear all year around, you
can try one of the many online retailers that sell prescription eyewear items
and don't require a membership. Just remember to always ask the retailer if
there is a possibility of tint being added to your purchase. Tinting is
available in several different intensities and colors so you'll want to look
around until you find the right hue for your eyes. Remember that FDA approved
contacts have to be good quality because they are meant to protect your
eyesight.
