If your Halloween look includes costume contact lenses, remember: there’s no such thing as “one size fits all.” Costume lenses should be prescribed and fitted by an eye care professional, just like regular contacts.
Protect your eyes this Halloween:
- Buy only FDA-approved lenses from a reputable source that requires a prescription.
- Never share contacts or eye makeup.
- Keep contacts clean and follow proper lens-care instructions.
- Limit wear of costume lenses and never sleep in them.
- Use caution with eyelash extensions and adhesives.
If you experience redness, swelling, pain or discharge, remove your contacts and seek medical attention.
A spooky look should only last one night. An eye injury can last much longer.
