The New Bill on Buying and Selling Cosmetic Contact Lenses in Canada is fully supported by the Canada Health Minister. The bill aims to improve the quality as well as the reliability of medical contact lenses by providing the public with the information on the proper care and maintenance of the contact lenses.
What Is the Purpose of the New Bill on Cosmetic Contact Lenses?
The new bill sets out new requirements for companies involved in the manufacturing and selling of contact lenses. The companies must ensure that the consumers will get the most authentic and reliable contacts, either it is a pair of medical contact lens or cosmetic contacts. The bill could help to control the illegal selling of cosmetic contacts that could potentially put ones vision at high risk. By regulating these medical devices, Canadians will now have a clear understanding on the safety and risks associated with the illegal buying of contact lenses. This will also allow the public to make an informed decision about whether to purchase a certain Cosmetic Contact Lenses or not.
How Was the Bill Enacted?
This bill comes out after Conservative MP Pat Davidson had recently received a support for the private member’s bill Monday, right after opposition MPs have stood in the House of Commons in order to voice out their support on amending the country’s Food and Drugs Act. The purpose behind this is to ensure that non correction Cosmetic Contact Lenses will be treated in the same way as corrective contacts or medical contact lenses are being treated.
