Halloween Eyes - With the right knowledge, you can play it safe

Halloween's just around the corner and you know the perfect final touch to your costume this year—freakish Halloween eyes to give you a realistic look!

Before you pop a pair of unusual lenses in your eyes, take a step back. Those lenses may look harmless and crazy, but they pose a potentially dangerous threat to your eyesight. Halloween lenses can affect your vision for life—and not for the better.

You may have heard the horror stories. One person is legally blind. Another has had corneal surgery. Many more have suffered eye infections and diseases. All from wearing Halloween eyes as a cosmetic accessory.

What can you do to prevent similar outcomes happening to you? It’s simple. Wearing oddly-colored, fun-n-crazy lenses is not bad for you. It’s how you handle those lenses that can affect your vision.

Follow these simple guidelines and you can wear Halloween eyes this holiday—and any other costume party—without worry or fear of damaging your sight .

• Doctor: Just like a medical aid, contacts lenses must be fit properly on your eye in order to prevent corneal scratching, tearing and much more. A quick and simple doctor’s appointment will tell you what shape eye you have to prevent any future problems
• Sharing: If you love your friends, don’t share your crazy Halloween eyes with them. Sharing lenses can encourage eye infections to spread between individuals. Also, your friend’s eye isn’t the same shape as yours and an incorrectly-sized lens on your eyes spells danger
• Clean ‘Em: Just like the traditional contacts, you must regularly clean your Halloween eyes to ensure you are placing bacteria-free lenses in your eyes

Taking proper care of your colored Halloween eyes is fine—if you play by the rules. With the right knowledge, you can play it safe and look great this holiday season.
