Halloween Eye Safety: Keep Your Look Spooky and Safe

Why Contact Lens Safety Matters

Decorative lenses might look fun, but they’re still medical devices. When worn improperly or purchased from unlicensed sellers, they can cause serious eye problems, including:

• Eye infections

• Corneal scratches

• Decreased vision

• Even permanent eye damage

  
  

Tips for Safe Lens Use This Halloween

1. Get a Prescription

   Even for cosmetic lenses, always get an eye exam and prescription from an eye care professional. This step is crucial for your safety.

   
   

2. Don’t Share Lenses

   Sharing lenses is a fast track to eye infections. Never swap them with friends. Your eyes deserve better!

   
   

3. Follow Cleaning Instructions

   If your lenses are reusable, clean and store them properly. Keeping them in a clean case is essential for avoiding infections.

   
   

4. Limit Wear Time

   Don’t wear them for longer than recommended and never sleep in them unless specifically approved. Your eyes need rest just like you do!

   
   

5. Watch for Warning Signs

   Redness, discomfort, or blurry vision? Remove the lenses and see an optometrist. Don’t ignore your body’s signals.
