Contact lenses were worn directly on the cornea and the sclera for vision correction. The market surveillance report of the coloered contact lens with pupil dilation effect published by the National Consumer Affairs Center of Japen identified some producted that caused injuried of cornea and conjunctivea. In order to protect the consumers in Taiwan from such injuries, a survey of daily wear contact lenses was conducted. In 2016, from January to June, our local health authorities collected 28 samples from hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and factories all over Taiwan. Amoung them, 22 were made in China and 6 were imported somewhere else. The color additives were the main concern of this survey and the sample lens extractions were tested for color additives according to the published international methods and stardards. In the extracts of these 28 samples, there was no detectable presence of the color additives. This finding has been forwarded to the local health authorities as references. |
