As Halloween approaches, you may consider buying costume contact lenses, warty witch’s nose or a zany neon wig. You may as well consider adding vampire eyes, snake eyes or some fun costume and accessories.
Even though costume contact lenses are comfortable for your eyes and you don’t feel any sort of dryness and itching, but it is advisable to follow safety tips on how and where to buy the right contact lenses–
Don’t Purchase Contact Lenses Just Because They Are Affordable
Without a valid doctor prescription, buying contact lenses would be unwise. According to the FDA, you should never buy contact lenses from street vendors, flea markets, novelty stores, beach shops as well as any website that does not require any prescription. Affordability should not be tempting you. Moreover, these lenses may not be fitted to your eyes properly and could potentially cause an infection or sometimes, vision loss.
Set Up An Appointment With Local Eye Doctor
Whether you want to purchase costume contact lenses or every day wear contact lenses, set up an appointment with a local eye doctor. An eye doctor provides you a prescription for costume contact lens and advises you the best way to care for your contacts.
An ophthalmologist measures each eye to properly fit the costume contact lenses as all contact lenses are not one size fits. Poor fit contacts can cause serious eye damage such as conjunctivitis, blindness or corneal infection.
Maintain High standards of Cleanliness and Hygiene
A good personal standard of hygiene includes cleaning, after use soaking into a multi-purpose solution and much more. An improper care can cause eye infection, redness, swelling, or discharge. In severe cases, it could damage your eyes and vision.
If you follow all directions for cleaning, disinfecting and wearing, you can bring some extra eeriness to your getup, featuring an anime ninja from Naruto or a Werewolf.
