The costume included creepy contact lenses. <strong>When Leah woke up the next morning, she realized that something seriously scary had happened.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\"><div class=\"e3lan e3lan-in-post1\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"body-text\">&#8220;Her eye was really swollen and red and I asked her if she had pink eye or something,&#8221; her mother Dawn told&nbsp;<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wxyz.com\/news\/region\/macomb-county\/local-teen-left-partially-blind-after-buying-costume-contacts-at-gibraltar-trade-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WXYZ.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">A trip to the opthamologist revealed the contact had ripped out the top layer of her cornea. Now, she&#8217;s partially blind in one eye and may need surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">&#8220;I missed out on homecoming,&#8221; Leah said to&nbsp;<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wxyz.com\/news\/region\/macomb-county\/local-teen-left-partially-blind-after-buying-costume-contacts-at-gibraltar-trade-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WXYZ.com<\/a>. &#8220;My school work is really behind. My vision is not going to be 100 percent. I have a long road.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">Leah purchased the contact lenses from Body Jewelry &amp; More, a booth set up at the Gibraltar Trade Center in nearby Mt. Clemens, in late September. But contact lenses are actually a medical device, and cannot be sold as a novelty item for a costume, and as Leah found out, wearing contacts not prescribed by an eye doctor can be seriously dangerous.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">&#8220;I think the misconception is they don&#8217;t alter your vision they just change the way you look. They change your appearance so it&#8217;s more of a cosmetic, a fashion accessory, something to add to a costume,&#8221; Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Lorin Alaine told&nbsp;<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wxyz.com\/news\/region\/macomb-county\/local-teen-left-partially-blind-after-buying-costume-contacts-at-gibraltar-trade-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WXYZ.com<\/a>. &#8220;They are a medical device and they require a prescription. To buy or sell them without a prescription is illegal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\"><div class=\"e3lan e3lan-in-post2\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Adv<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bagfactory.com.hk\/216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Sun Winning Ind Co<\/strong><\/span><\/a>: Manufacture of Canvas Bag, Recycle Bad in China<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theunitravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheUniTravel.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span> : Find the latest\u00a0<em>travel<\/em>\u00a0and tourism\u00a0<em>news<\/em>\u00a0from around the world.
