Product Safety Alert

There is a product that has become available here in San Saba that you need to be aware of. There was a national news story on colored contacts that can be bought, that are not FDA approved. These contacts are sold cheaply and offer many different colors that are very bright and beautiful, but please understand the dangers with these cheap knock-offs.

These contacts are just what they appear, cheaper made knock-offs of the real thing that are made with dangerous chemicals and can cause all kinds of health problems and even lead to blindness. If you stick anything in your eyes make sure your doctor has approved it.

Parents beware that you do not have to be 18 to buy this product, so if you notice that your child, who was born with brown eyes now has bright blue ones, well that might be something to check. You can go to the internet and find out more information.
