Colored CL Victim Testifies

"A 17-year-old girl who claims she lost her sight after using colored contact lenses, testified in court today. Her parents have filed a civil suit against a local Beauty Max where the teen bought the contact lenses," according to KRIS news. "Back in May of 2007, Kortnee Clark and her grandmother went into the Beauty Max on Ayers Street and purchased two sets of colored contact lenses. After wearing the lenses for just over two weeks straight, Kortnee began to experience pain in her eyes. A few months later she was declared legally blind in her right eye, and her family believes it was because of these contacts." Read more.
