Is Circle Lens Really Safe ?!
Question: Is Circle Lens Really Safe ?
Answers:
They are like any other contacts , and can cause lots of problems if they don't fit right, or if they aren't taken care of right including how to disinfect and clean them , and wearing times.
They have a bad rep because they are available to kids everywhere who have no clue how to take care of them and get some bad infections.

I think circle lenses have got a bad reputation because of several things. Kids are buying them on-line from fly-by-night foreign websites without a prescription and without any fitting or training how to take care of them etc. They are sleeping in them, swimming in them, not cleaning them, over-wearing them, etc and once their eyes are all messed up, they blame the contacts for the problems. Also, because the circle lenses are so popular there are a lot of knock-offs being turned out in sweat shops in rinky-dink 3rd world countries with inferior materials so it is hard to tell if you are even getting the real ones or not.
If you want to get them, at least get a proper fitting and prescription, obey the rules for cleaning, wearing, etc and try to make sure you get the real ones.
