Safety rules for contact lens wearers

You might have heard that Halloween contacts can be dangerous your eyes. You shouldn’t worry; though, because high quality contacts are absolutely safe; only improper care of them can cause problems. If you already wear contact lenses for vision correction, care for costume contact lenses is absolutely the same as for ordinary contacts.

If it's your first time wearing contacts, though, be sure to consult your eye doctor before you order yourself a pair of theatrical contacts. All contact lenses come with instructions on how to care for them. Be sure to read and follow these instructions - it isn’t at all difficult.

Follow these simple rules:

• don’t wear your color lenses for longer than 8 hours and never sleep in them
• only use contact lens solution to store and disinfect your contact lenses, never use tap water
• wash your hands before handling your contacts
• never wear a lens that is torn
• take your costume lenses off if they irritate your eyes
• never give your contacts to other people

Where can I get costume contact lenses?

Leading up to Halloween, you have probably seen these colorful boxes for sale everywhere - beauty salons, flea markets, even gas stations. However, it is not a good idea to buy your theatrical contact lenses from these places. Most of them sell no-brand costume contacts, so you can’t know where they were manufactured or from what materials. Remember, the surface of your eye is very delicate, and using paints that are not designed for contact lenses (as is the case with the majority of lenses available on the streets) can damage your eyes.

There are two safe ways to buy costume contacts. One is to visit an eye doctor, get a prescription and order contacts through your doctor’s office. Another option is to order your costume lenses online from trusted contact lens retailers. This way, you can get a discount. As with most online orders, your contacts will usually arrive in about a week, so you should place your order in advance.

Do you think that Halloween lenses are fun? They are great fun and, with the range of lenses on the market, everyone can get color lensesto that you will love.
