Fake GEO Lenses

Hello again everyoone !

So I'm sure those who are interested in circle lenses have heard about fake GEO lenses that are very common all over the internet. Many sellers are selling fake GEO lenses and there are many people who aren't aware of how to tell and end up harming their eyes with the fake lenses. Well, I'm here to tell you how to detect fake GEO lenses !

1. GEO lenses almost always come in vials! Many people advertise that they do not ever come in vials, BUT ! depending on location, and where the person you are buying from is located, you may receive lenses that ARE authentic yet come in blister packages. It IS complicated but here is a picture :
2. GEO Medical has recently come out with an antifake system. Basically, it is a system where you are given a 20 digit code and you can input it into a website and it will tell you whether or not your lenses are real. This is the real website http://www.fw1860.com/en however, there is now a FAKE website that has been made and this is NOT the real one. www.colourgeocheck.cn is the fake one so if your 20 digit code has a sticker with that website on, try to return it ASAP ! Also, check for fake authenticity stickers ! Those are quite popular too !
3. The GEO logo is known to have the line over the G, as seen in the photo above. Many of the fake GEO lenses will be missing that line as seen in the next picture.
4. Look for "Made in Korea" on the vials instead of "Made in China"

5. Lastly, the vials will have a different font from the real vials !! Here's a picture of fake ones and then real ones
Anyway, this is a really long post but you might want to be aware of these things before you order from anyone online ! Even those who may seem very nice and etc online can take your money and not respond you anymore and you can check out http://geopolice.multiply.com/ The site covers almost everything that I explained but what's good is that they have a list of people who are known to sell fake lenses so check that list out and be careful everyone !

Happy shopping

  3. Hi, I bought my Geo lens few days ago and it didn't had any sticker. When I told the lady that it doesn't have any sticker on, she put me a sticker that says its geo and it has security feature and everything. But I believe they are fake?
    Is fake lens really bad for the eyes?
    Should I ask for refunds?

  4. Fake lenses are definitely bad for your eyes and Im glad you asked about that ! if it is the authenticity sticker, you should be able to go to a certain website to check the code.. i think the website is http://www.fw1860.com/en/

    it should be a 16 digit code too !

    if you can, ask for a refund however many stores do not accept refunds especially after being opened!!

    anyway, last comment would be to play it safe and ask where people get theirs cause chances are they got it from somewhere safe/authentic! btw a lot of places that sell them in stores are fake..

  7. what about the last picture of this post... are they fake too? cause i have the exact same lenses....

    1. When you refer to the last picture, are you asking about the lens model? The lens model itself is not fake, but the font that they use on the vial is different from the authentic ones. It was used as a method to show they are fake. The lens model is not fake though so if you have lenses that are CH-625 don't worry about that.

      Any other questions can be directed towards me at twinklebeautyy@gmail.com!

    1. Although I cannot entirely guarantee, I have seen many many reviews and have had many picures sent to me from various sites.

      I actually have a review on lenses that were sent to me from uniqso.com

  15. hello twinkle beautyy!
    I have never purchased circle lenses before and the ones I want to try first, after seeing old reviews are the Neo Cosmo Glamour series lenses.
    I have found the following sites that stock them only-

    http://www.eyecandys.com/cosmo-glamour-series-14-2mm/

    http://www.honeycolor.com/neo-glamour-green.html

    http://www.koreabigeyes.com/Glamour/NEO-COSMO-Glamour-Green.html

    Do you have any knowledge or advice on which of these three sites if any sell authentics or are not safe. As I am not prepared to damage my eyes.
    kind regards
    Katie

  17. I know this was posted a while ago but I'm confused about mine. Ok one of mine has the normal GEO logo and has the line over the G and everything but the other one says GEOmedical with a circle around the O and a curved line over the O as well. Maybe it's a newer design or something I don't really know. Also basically all the same stuff is on both but just kind of in different spots like its a new design or something. Not really sure. They both had the authenticity stickers on them but one was like barely on there kind of like some one just stuck it on there. But they both came out to be real. But I don't really know if I should trust then or what. I haven't seen anything like these ones really. I got them off pinkyparadise.com just incase you were wondering. Sorry for the long question just wanted to make sure I got enough description as possible.

    Any help would be nice thanks :)
