Despite of the regulations imposed by the government against the sale of non Prescription Contact Lenses on the Internet, there’s still a growing number of social networking that has been used by salespeople in selling these contact lenses illegally online.
Due to the popularity of auction sites online, there are now a lot of salespeople who would go abroad to buy adult medications, including cosmetic contact lenses that could enlarge the pupils, this was according to the Food and Drug Administration Director General. FDA said that things have greatly developed now, because consumers can just place an order online and the product will then be delivered at their doorstep after several days.
Facebook is considered to be the number one social networking site that has been one of the platforms for selling non Prescription Contact Lenses.
Although some of these contact lenses are being sold for cosmetic purposes only and not for vision correction, these contact lenses still needs a prescription from an eye doctor when bought online. Aside from contact lenses, medical equipments such as Band-Aids, ear thermometers, condoms, and prysbeiopia glasses must be sold only in pharmacies that have legal pharmaceuticals permit. This is in accordance with Article 27 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act that says before anyone could sell medical equipments, you must be able to register with health authority and obtain a pharmaceuticals permit.
Furthermore, such act states that the pharmacy registration must also include a store address and the location of the store, which means that there should be a physical store in order to register as a pharmacy. So if we consider this, online stores that sell contact lenses are not legal. Non Prescription Contact Lenses sold over the Internet makes it difficult to trace who are those responsible for causing harm on your eyes or causing impairment on your vision.
