The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) is alerting members of the public on its detection of counterfeit coloured contact lenses being sold in local optical shops because of public health and safety concerns. The counterfeits were fraudulently labelled as “FreshLook® ColorBlends®” Contact Lenses from CIBA VISION and found to be unsafe and of poor quality.
These lenses are sold for aesthetic purposes and the correction of short sightedness. This is the first case of counterfeit contact lenses being sold by optical shops in Singapore.
