Decorative contact lenses and Halloween

Decorative contact lenses and Halloween
Decorative contact lenses have become quite popular in recent years, with demand increasing during the Halloween season. Fun designs are made to look animalistic including zebra, cat and jaguar eyes. Although cosmetic contact lenses can be fun and safe, they can produce serious eye problems. If you wear special effect lenses keep the following in mind:
-Have a comprehensive eye exam and contact lens fitting by a licensed eye care professional
- Purchase special effect lenses from that licensed eye care professional
- Do not purchase at a convenience store, flea market, gas station or beauty supply store or outlets not licensed to dispense them.
- Do not sleep or swim in decorative contact lenses
- Do not share or swap with your friends
- Always clean and disinfect your lenses before and after wearing them.
