We pay close attention to what we eat, what we put on our skin, and even what we clean our homes with, but eye health often gets overlooked. Most of us pop in our contact lenses without a second thought. But here’s something eye-opening: many contact lenses on the market are made with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, better known as PFAS.

PFAS are often called “forever chemicals” because they don’t easily break down in the body or the environment. Over time, they can accumulate, and that’s where concerns come in.

Research has linked PFAS exposure to a range of potential health issues, including cancer, liver and kidney disease, autoimmune disorders and complications during pregnancy. Even more concerning, a 2024 study found that contact lenses containing PFAS may significantly increase the overall body burden of these chemicals in young adults.

Considering that contact lenses sit directly on the eye for hours at a time, day after day, it’s understandable that many people are starting to ask: What exactly am I putting in my body? If you wear contacts regularly, choosing lenses without “forever chemicals” may be a simple way to reduce unnecessary exposure.

That’s where Eiyan Lens stands out as a cleaner option for your eyes. Their contact lenses are:

• Completely PFAS-free (verified by third-party testing)
• Comfortable and hydrating, with a 47% water content for all-day moisture

For those trying to reduce toxic exposure in everyday products, this matters.

He has tried them and calls them “actually amazing” and likes them better than his “toxic contacts.”

Dr. Pompa isn’t alone. Hundreds of customers are happy with Eiyan’s non-toxic contact lenses.
