FDA Allows Disposable Eyewear to be Used Only ONCE

Ft. Wayne, IN – Eye Pro, Inc., world leader in disposable eye protection for indoor tanning and makers of Ultra Gold WINK-EASE, Lash Room WINK-EASE and WINK-EASE Dark, is all about providing salon support.

“Do you have tanners who use the same pair of disposable eyewear over and over?” asks Eye Pro President, Brenda Fishbaugh. “This is NOT allowed by the FDA and we can provide you proof to share with your tanners. We can send salon operators our ‘One Time Use’ letter printed on Eye Pro stationery indicating our product is licensed as a Class One Medical Product. Since disposable eye protection cannot be properly cleaned, it can only be worn once,” Fishbaugh continued.
“Disposable eye protection is a Class One Medical Device, just like cotton balls and tongue depressors. You surely wouldn’t use a tongue depressor more than once,” explains Office Manager, Jackie DeWald. “The eyewear is held in place by a medical adhesive and since the adhesive cannot be ‘cleaned’ after use, the product is only authorized to be used once,” adds DeWald. “You don’t want the dirt, makeup and oils from your face to touch the skin around your eyes time and time again,” she continued. “We take caring for tanners’ eyes very seriously and work with salons to make sure their guests are protected from UV rays, but explaining the FDA position on disposable eye protection as a Class One Medical Device is equally important for salons and tanners, alike,” DeWald concluded.
To receive Eye Pro’s “One Time Use” letter, email WinkEase@WinkEase.com and we will email it to you, along with tips to keep your tanners using the freshest eye protection available.
