blog#6 Color Contact Lenses

Hi, this is Shoko:)
have you ever wore contact lenses? I think every one have a friend who wear them every day.
Then, how about color contact lenses? Do you have any friends who use them? I guess not so many here in Gakushuin. Over 15 million people in japan are using contact lenses. however we never know exactly the number of people who use color contact lenses because many users do not buy them trough a doctor. But according to the graph, we can say , the number must be increasing rapidly.

we often hear that colore contact lenses are bad for eyes. Is that true?

Unfortunately, there are many eye problems caused by color contact lenses.  The lightest injury is itching and eye redness.  The worst is becoming blind.  According to the survey by NITE in 2004, one thirds of the eye problems have a possibility to be blind. Isn't it so surprising?? I did not expected how scaring it is.

 Also,according to the survey by National Institute of Technology and Evaluation which is called NITE in 2008, teenagers, specifically 15 to 25 year-old people, account for 90 percent of the whole users who have eye problems caused by color contact lenses.This problem is actually close to us, especially for girls.

How do we prevent eye problems?? The most important thing is going a hospital and getting  proper information before using color contact lenses.

I never say color contact lenses are bad things.  I rather like them because of its usefulness and fashion.  Isn’t it so attractive that you can get pretty eyes by just wearing contact lenses?  At least, it is for me.  That is why many young people are eager to get them even with risks.  However, do you really need to be beautiful even at the risk of losing your health?   No matter how much money you have, you never buy it.  Nobody, especially your family and lovers, would want you to be beautiful at cost of  your perfect health.

So, remember to go hospital before using color contact lenses!! And do not buy them trough the internet!!

Be beautiful in a safe and healthy way :)

  1. I have worn contact lenses since I was 13. I wear them now too - with my glasses. They are expensive and come from a trustable opthamology centre. As eyesight is precious, I am grateful to have them and to have my eyes, so I would never risk the health of my eyes - especially not for beauty or fashion!
