As Halloween approaches, it's important to prioritize eye safety, especially if you're thinking about using cosmetic contact lenses to complete your costume. Illegally sold lenses may not be sterile and can cause serious eye problems such as infections, corneal ulcers, and even vision loss. These lenses are often found in costume shops or online without requiring a prescription, putting your eye health at risk. Always purchase cosmetic lenses from a licensed eye care professional to ensure they fit properly and meet safety standards. Don't let unsafe lenses turn your fun night into a frightening experience.

Contact lenses are prescription medical devices. Even if you just want to purchase cosmetic contact lenses that change your eye color, you will still need an eye exam and a prescription from an eye doctor. The same applies to costume or theatrical contact lenses. Watch the video on how to wear them!
