This is a scare story - the original "research" The Guardian have linked to is an article by Mamavation which is the blog of Leah Segedie who "has a Masters degree from the University of Southern California in Communication Management".

Leah found "Indications of PFAS", organic Fluorine, which may or may not be PFAS. Whilst she may not be wrong, as a wearer of contact lenses myself I would like to know the truth.

By the way, Leah (@bookieboo on twitter) is an affiliate marketer of many non-toxic products.

"extremely high levels of organic fluorine, a marker of ‘forever chemicals’"

I hate this kind of garbage research.

Florine can be used in lots of things, without actually checking there is absolutely no way they can claim it's PFAS.
