238. Can Lash Adhesive + Contacts Cause Someone To Go Blind?

Lately, we have gotten a lot of lash artists asking us if it's safe to wear contacts while getting lashes.

It's a good question, and we can see why it seems dangerous.

A couple of lash artists told us about a story of a person who was wearing contacts, and the lash adhesive caused the contacts to do something odd that led to the person going blind. Sounds crazy I know...but is it something we need to be concerned about?

In today's episode, we talk about this issue with the hopes you can lash clients in peace and not worry about how you might cause a client to go blind because they forgot to take out their contacts.
