More cosmetic concerns

It looks like Canada may get tough on cosmetic contact lenses as an MP is trying to get them regulated a la corrective contact lenses: http://www.canada.com/health/Ontario+pushes+regulation+cosmetic+contact+lenses/5501846/story.html. A bill introduced last week aims to close regulatory loopholes for unsafe non-corrective cosmetic contact lenses and the Canadian Association of Optometrists has called for parliamentarians to enact it with haste. A risk assessment for Health Canada concluded that cosmetic contact lenses justified regulation back in 2003. Meanwhile in the US, the latest warning on Halloween contact lenses proves that just because such contact lenses are 'considered medical devices under federal law' the threat to eye health does not go away. Those sold at flea markets, costume shops, beauty salons, online and other places can cause serious damage to your eyes from improper fit, according to a joint warning from the Pennsylvania departments of Health and State: http://www.fox43.com/news/wpmt-halloween-contact-lense-health-risk,0,1127288.story?track=rss Basically if children/teenagers don't get a proper contact lens fitting, they could end up with very scary looking eyes, for all the wrong reasons.
