Stop online sale of contact lens
By Serene Luo
THE Ministry of Health (MOH) on Monday morning warned unlicensed blogshops to stop selling cosmetic contact lenses.

The Optometrists and Opticians Board of the ministry sent email letters, which The Straits Times obtained, to blogshop owners to remove all contact lens-related posts from their blogs immediately as well.

If they did not, they could run foul of the Optometrists and Opticians Act, and face jail of up to six months or fines up to $25,000, or both, for prescribing and dispensing contact lenses without being qualified to do so.

Read the full report in Tuesday's edition of The Straits Times.
