Halloween Contact Lenses


Halloween is fun time of year and you want to have that perfect show-stopping costume and this year that might include novelty contact lenses. You may want to have black or vampire red eyes and that is fun as long as you are safe. Contact lenses are considered a medical device by the FDA even if wearing them only for Halloween.  If you are thinking about getting Halloween contact lenses your first step would be to get a prescription from a doctor. All contacts, even novelty, require a prescription. You should be purchasing contacts from a legitimate source and all legitimate sources will require a prescription be written. Poor lens fit can lead to eye infection, corneal ulcers, decreased vision and even blindness. This includes sharing; even a lens purchased from a legitimate source only fit the person they are prescribed to.
