Big eye? Make that bug eye

Here's a warning tale about the craze for 'Big eye' contact lenses as favoured by Lady Gaga and a clear reason why there should be stricter control worldwide. The story about a spate of bacterial infections in Bangkok doesn't make for pleasant reading, what with the diagnosis of pseudomonas aeruginosa infection, although I'm not sure about the description of 'green gum'. One patient wore a pair for 23 months to look 'cute' and other peers had worn them for years. There's nothing cute about the possibility of losing your eye. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2011/02/16/national/Contact-lenses-blamed-for-eye-infection-outbreak-30148753.html
