Despite the warning from optical groups and the FDA, which appeared on scores of websites and in scores of newspapers, a Rhode Island teenager still purchased decorative CLs. Here's the beginning of the story that appeared on the Providence Journal's website, Projo: "A high school student developed severe eye problems after illegally purchasing decorative contact lenses from a convenience store and wearing them at Halloween, according to the state Health Department."

Optical News from OpticalCEUs also heard that a Halloween store in Massachusetts was selling decorative CLs.
