CYBERJAYA: Unregistered contact lenses from South Korea valued at about RM700,000 were seized during a raid at an outlet in a fashion wholesale mall in Pudu, Kuala Lumpur. MDA chief executive Dr P. Muralitharan said the company was found to be selling contact lenses online and the MDA is now actively tracking down sales agents for further action. He said the outlet was first raided in November 2023 in collaboration with the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry for selling unregistered contact lenses, which resulted in the company’s MDA Establishment Licence being revoked. “The unregistered contact lenses sold by this company are priced at around RM9 to RM10. He added that the use of unregistered products could lead to conditions such as swollen eyes and even corneal injuries.
