contact lenses

[Guest guest]

Hi, my name is Joeann - I've been a vegetarian for 13

years and a vegan for roughly 3 months now -

problem is, I've just got myself some contact lenses

for the first time, (they're violet and quite nice)

anyway, it wasn't until I was getting my introductory

trial-pack of cleaner etc. that I realised I blew it -

these solutions have got to have been tested on

animals - Does anybody know of contact lens solutions

which are cruelty free?

 

Also on a different note, I believe some tea

manufactureres use ox-blood in the colouring of tea

(to give it that rich luxurious colour which we

obviously need) - does anybody know about that, and

which companies are ok ?

If the manufacturer has created a new chemical, they've got to check

it's safe for humans.

 

And before they're allowed to test it on humans, the pharmaceutical

industry will have been obliged to test it on animals.

 

The only alternative is if someone does a contact lens cleaner solution

that made up of already known chemicals. I don't know much about what's

in contact lens solution, but remember something about it including

digestive enzymes (like a biological washing powder). What exactly is in

it? Don't you rinse the lenses before putting them on your eyes? (So,

this is an embarassingly basic question. Sorry.)

That has to be one of the worst puns I've ever heard :-)
