Circle Lenses

one of the many questions that comes up daily on Yahoo Answers is about "Circle" lenses...cosmetic "semi-scleral" soft contacts. They're popular right now b/c Lady Gaga wears them in some of her videos.

Here's a New York Times article about the danger of these lenses when used improperly and/or w/o a prescription:

  2. Hello there! My daughter started wearing eye glasses at the age five and still uncomfortable and here ophthalmologist recommended shifting to contact lenses but I am having a second thought. How safe are the contact lenses? I am worried on the infection later on if we can not properly handle the lenses.

  3. contact lenses are very safe. there is very LITTLE risk of infection if used properly. the problem, of course, is that over half of all users do 1 or multiple things wrong: like re-use solution, overwear their lenses, extended wear, etc etc etc

  4. Hello. I posted on your blog about GPC because I currently have that.
    Then I saw this post, and it made me wonder, if my circle lenses could have had anything to do with my GPC?
    I wore circle lenses right before I developed GPC. I have since stopped wearing them and am trying to get rid of the GPC...but it does make me wonder if the circle lenses weren't safe and it helped cause problems for me...
