New PSAs highlight 'horrors' of unsafe decorative contact lens use

AOA has collaborated with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Entertainment Industries Council to produce a first-of-its-kind campaign that elicits the "horrors" of ocular complications resulting from unsafe lens use with messages from the FDA and makeup effects artists from the TV series "American Horror Story" in two, separate PSAs. The campaign consists of a 30-second and a soon-to-be released three-minute video.

Read more about this new campaign and an AOA member's help in coordinating the project. Additionally, find more Patient & Public resources about the dangers of illegal contact lenses here, or visit the AOA Content Lens Safety website.
