The new beauty accessory: Colored contacts

MANILA, Philippines - One of the most popular trends these days is colored contact lenses. While they are primarily used to improve vision, they have also become honest-to-goodness beauty accessories. Even for colored contacts, though, the basic rules of proper usage and maintenance still apply: contact lenses must be used properly to keep eyes healthy. This was the topic of discussion during the beauty bloggers’ dinner held recently by Ciba Vision at Kirin Restaurant in High Street.

According to Dr. Jeanette Romualdez-Oo, an important first step is to be careful about where contact lenses are purchased. “Contact lens wearers must buy only from optometrists who are best qualified to examine our eyes and recommend the best products to use,” says Dr. Romualdez-Oo. “These practitioners can likewise vouch for the safety and quality of the lenses they sell, and ensure that these are approved by the Food and Drug Administration,” she continues.
