BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhuanet) -- Lady Gaga is recently blamed for partially inspiring a trend of eye-endangering contact lens, according to media reports Wednesday.
The contact lenses can create the "large doe-eyes" as the singer showed in her “Bad Romance" video. They are selling fast on the Internet but illegal in the United States and not FDA approved.
These lenses cover not only the cornea, like a regular contact, but also the surrounding area. Every area they cover is deprived of oxygen.
Users of these lenses can potentially get a serious bacterial infection or lose their eyesight.
"You could develop chronic dry eye, you can develop scars on the cornea, and you can develop visualization of the cornea," Dr. Majid Moshir far from the Moran Eye Center said.
"It may not happen to everyone, but for that person that it does happen to, it’s a very big catastrophe."
