Here are some friends with simlar question as we.And I have this question for many days,anyone help us?
Kitty said: Yes.Are there any vegans here who wear contact lenses?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Are there any vegans here who wear contact lenses?),it will help you,my kids.
I was just wondering, since vegans are supposed to abstain from all animal products as much as possible and practical, and the pharmaceutical companies that make the contact lenses are required to test on animals.
Answers:
Im not a vegan but your smug ...miss smarty pants
We do, however, know of two companies—Lobob Laboratories and Clear Conscience—that do not test their contact lens solutions on animals. Clear Conscience is available in health food stores and through PETA's catalog.
We only recently became aware of the fact that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which promulgates regulations regarding the safety testing of contact lens products, does not explicitly require that these products be tested on animals. Despite this good news, our research indicates that manufacturers of contact lens products are staunchly resistant to eliminating animals from their testing procedures. Because contact lens products go into the eyes, they must undergo more extensive safety tests than, for example, cosmetics products, which primarily go on the surface of the skin. Manufacturers use this reason and their fear of consumer lawsuits as excuses to continue testing on animals despite the questionable validity of animal tests and the existence of alternatives.
It is time, therefore, to put some pressure on the manufacturers of contact lens products. Please write to manufacturers and use your power as a consumer to encourage them to eliminate animal testing of their products.
