Eye peril in GaGa lens fad

Risky ... GaGa video
Risky ... GaGa video

 

 

FANS of LADY GAGA are putting their sight at risk by wearing novelty contact lenses to copy the star's doe-eyed look.

The singer, 24, is thought to have used computer wizardry to make her pupils and irises look huge in hit video Bad Romance.
But extra-large Circle Contact Lenses give the same effect by covering part of the white of the eye.
One UK online supplier is now selling 5,000 pairs a MONTH.
Winfried Amoaku, of the Royal College of Ophthalmologists, said: "Wearing lenses to make the pupil seem larger increases the risk of eye infections, corneal abrasion and even corneal ulcers."
