Due to the lack of national management of the contact lens industry and the imperfection of laws and regulations, more and more unscrupulous merchants sell second-hand or shoddy products for the sake of small profits, regardless of the safety of consumers' eyes, to attract beauty-loving women, especially students, to buy at low prices (or even group purchases).
If such contact lenses are worn for a long time, they will slightly damage the cornea and make vision blurred; In severe cases, it may lead to corneal ulceration and lifelong blindness!銆€銆€Well-known glasses city also has inferior contact lenses for sale The reporter once secretly visited a well-known glasses city in Shanghai, but did not see the sale of Japanese and Korean contact lenses on the counter, after asking the salesman of one of the small shops, the other party took out a few bottles of samples from the box behind the reporter, and finally returned the price from 100 yuan to 30 yuan, When asked why not put it directly on the counter, the seller shirked and said that there were too many brands to put down.
The reporter asked again whether it was genuine, and the seller swore that the quality was guaranteed. But when the reporter continued to ask why there was no anti-counterfeiting, the seller turned out to be ridiculously perfunctory: Is it all the same, it doesn't matter if there is a problem to come to me. How can such an irresponsible seller reassure consumers that contact lenses are not clothing shoes and hats, and it is too late to wait for something to go wrong? If the quality is really the same, why do some stores sell for two or three hundred, and some are as low as 8 yuan? If the quality of the goods is really the same, wouldn't the store that sells high prices lose its market competitiveness?銆€銆€Industry sellers reveal the shady scenes of color films: "Recycling films" 3 yuan, 8 yuan for takeaway The reporter found a seller on the Internet who claimed to have sold contact lenses for a long time posted a post to expose the inside story.
He said that there are countless types of contact lenses, and the price of low contact lenses may only be more than 8 yuan, and the expensive ones are about 200 yuan. Why is there such a big gap in the middle?銆€銆€As we all know, there is a recycle bin on the computer desktop that we often use, and the same is true for contact lenses, which also have recycled tablets.
That is, lenses that have been worn by others are reprocessed in small underground factories and then sold to customers. For example, GEO Hydro (one of the more popular ones), its recycled tablets can be received for less than 3 yuan, and there is still a profit to be made by selling them at a sales price of 8 yuan to 30 yuan.
The seller said: "The new contact lenses of regular manufacturers, even if the price is lowered, still do not sell well as recycled lenses, most of these lenses are bought by students, they don't know the inside story." The group buying network is unreliable, raising the price, pretending to be genuine, selling fakes, Miss Liu encountered troubles, Some time ago, the group bought the fake "Barbie Love" (contact lenses brand) on the group buying network. According to Miss Liu, at that time, she saw that a group purchase of contact lenses was being made on a group buying website, and the quality of the genuine product was clearly stated in the profile description, the official website was available and the price was nearly half cheaper than that in the store, so she also followed the trend of Alipay to pay directly for group purchases.
But after receiving the goods, Miss Liu was dumbfounded, although the lens pattern was the same as the group purchase advertisement at that time, but there was no anti-counterfeiting logo on the bottle and packaging, and after checking on the Internet, she really got a fake and the price was 20 yuan more expensive in addition to postage. "Wouldn't the careless buyer just wear it? It's okay if the money is wasted, but I can't imagine the damage to the eyes of fakes! Miss Liu said angrily.
Since Alipay was received instantly, Ms. Liu was unable to recover the payment and has now complained to the Consumer Association for a reply. The reporter reminded buyers that although group buying is very popular now, online shopping is risky.
The number of group purchases can be rewritten by the network administrator, don't blindly follow the trend, you need to think carefully and carefully check the evaluation of other group members on the site before placing an order.
Special reminder: From an aesthetic point of view, the bigger the contact lenses, the more beautiful the reporter checked the relevant information and found,
The diameter of a normal person's black eye is regular: the average transverse diameter is 11.4 mm for adult males and 10.05 mm for females, and 10.13 mm for males and 10.08 mm for females.
The doctor told the reporter that when the lower edge of the black eyeball is in a line with the lower eyelid, the eye will look more beautiful. "Some girls pursue the effect of big eyes too much, but they give people a feeling of anger, but they can't achieve the beautification effect." 銆€銆€From a safety point of view, some people should not wear contact lenses, and not everyone should wear them. First of all, primary and secondary school students under the age of 16 should not wear them, because the eyeball visual axis has not yet been shaped, and wearing contact lenses too early is easy to cause side effects such as physiological metabolic disorders; Do not wear it even if you are pregnant; After the age of 50, it is good to say goodbye to contact lenses. In addition, female drivers, street promoters and even female traffic police, due to long-term exposure to polluted environments, do not wear contact lenses.
From the perspective of hygiene, wash your hands more than twice before wearing Ophthalmology experts say that 80% of the oxygen supply of the cornea is taken from the air, and contact lenses will make the cornea unable to contact the air, even if the contact lenses are thin and breathable, for the eyes, they are still covered with a "film", and the eyes will not be able to metabolize normally and lose resistance due to lack of oxygen, so the wearing time of contact lenses should not exceed 10 hours.
Experts particularly emphasize the need to pay special attention to hygiene when taking and wearing contact lenses. Wash your hands with soap more than twice under running water. During the process of taking and wearing, you should also be extra careful to avoid damage to the eye and cornea.
