How to make sure your lenses are safe
You might have heard that Halloween contact lenses can be ricky for 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 contacts is absolutely the same as for ordinary contacts.
If you are new to contact lenses, 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 – taking care of your lenses takes only a couple minutes.
Here is your lens safery guide:
- 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 color 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 to get costume color contacts?
Close 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 obtain costume contacts. One is to visit an eye doctor, get a prescription and order color lenses through your doctor’s office. Another option is to order your costume lenses online from trusted contact lens retailers. This way, you can save a lot. As with most online orders, your contacts will usually arrive in about a week, so you should place your order in advance.
