Lady Gaga and Circle Lenses, My A*s!

For the past two days all I've been hearing is GAGA CIRCLE LENS GAGA CIRCLE LENS!

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! If I hear her name and Circle Lens in the same sentence ONE MORE TIME I WILL SSSSCCCRRRREEEEAAAAMMMM!!!!!

Okay...for 1), NO ONE cares about Lady Gaga! The last thing I want to look like is her. Eww. Circle lenses were made popular in ASIA. Let me say it again. ASIA. It has nothing do with Gaga. Popular Asian singers and actors and asian young adults wear them because they want their eyes to look larger. And the Americans that wear circle lenses aren't paying "homage" to that singer or even Japanase anime. They just found a product that works for them. Gaga....you got to be kidding me.

2) I really wish that people would do research on these lenses before actually putting articles in papers/internet or segments on TV. Circle Lenses have the same risk as contact lenses. What's funny is that they even STATE IT IN THE ARTICLES, like NYtimes. With American Contact Lenses, you don't wear for long periods of time or sleep with them on, and all those other rules. Nothing different from circle lenses.

3) Circle lenses come in the most common sizes 14mm or 14.5mm. While people think this sounds huge, if you look online, Freshlook Colorblends come in the same size. Mine are 14mm. So technically they aren't different in size or "covering the whites" if you get a size that fits correctly. Now you see idiots who wear 14.8mm or 15mm circle lenses. They are stupid for wearing such large contacts that DEFINATELY ARE TO BIG FOR THEIR EYES. If they have vision problems later in life, that's their fault.

This is my opinion. Whenever an American industry is threatened by an outside source, we're most likely going to hear that their competition should be banned and illegal. For all we know, this could be a way for American Contact Lens providers to get the word out about circle lenses so they can distribute their own version of it in the future. Most American people do not wear contact lenses for vision problems, but for cosmetics. We change our eye color like earrings or shoes. So if western contact distributors are so "threatened" by imports, then do something about it. Make a lens to satisfy your customers needs, even if you didn't come up with the idea first.

Like Facetime on Iphone 4. Do you seriously think Apple came up with that? Asia's had that feature on phones for years.
 
This is all a marketing ploy. So don't be shocked if by the end of this year or next that you see a major lens provider come out with a "safer" version of Circle Lenses.If they were REALLY serious about the whole "ricky circle lenses" and all that good stuff, they wouldn't have put in their articles many accounts o f people stating that "they are having an amazing experience with circle lenses", "They have the same risks as regualr contacts" or "I consulted a doctor before buying Circle Lenses". Really....having quotes like that will DEFINATELY make me not buy these.  Reporters nowadays....*shakes head*

Peace Love and Happiness,
