Tina Patel, Optician at Feel Good Contacts commented: “Whilst we want Halloween to be a memorable evening, we want it to be unforgettable for the right reasons; at the same time we warn consumers of the dangers of buying costume lenses without a prescription. By purchasing contact lenses from non-optical establishments, you could be putting your eyes at risk of a long list of eye-related conditions, including corneal infection, scratches on the cornea, conjunctivitis, reduced visual acuity and even blindness. Your eye is a very delicate organ, we don’t want that bloody-eye look turning into reality.”
Here are some tips on how to buy and wear cosmetic contact lenses and stay safe this Halloween:

1. Before buying your contact lenses, you should visit your eye care practitioner for a check-up. Even if you have good eyesight, you will still need to visit an optician to ensure that contact lenses are suitable for your eyes. If suitable, you will obtain a prescription with the lens dimensions to help you buy a proper fitting lens.
2. Buy the lenses from an eye care professional or vendor that requires a prescription. It is advisable that you avoid buying lenses from street vendors, salons, beauty supply stores, boutiques, flea markets, novelty stores, Halloween stores, convenience stores or untrustworthy internet retailers. These outlets may not abide by the same safety standards and regulations as reputable contact lens retailers. Trustworthy brands will only stock lenses from manufacturers that adhere to the strictest safety and quality regulations. Remember, contact lenses are medical devices and should only be purchased with an optician’s prescription. In fact, it’s illegal to buy contact lenses without one.

3. Always put your lenses on before applying your Halloween makeup and take them out before you remove your makeup.
4. Do not share your lenses with anyone. By sharing your lenses, you increase the chances of spreading eye diseases and corneal infections .
5. Follow the directions for cleaning, disinfecting and wearing the lenses. Do not use water to clean or store your lenses. Do not use your lenses more than the recommended wear time. If it is a single use lens, only wear it for one day and dispose of the lens as soon as you remove it from your eyes , do not exceed the recommended wearing time. If in doubt, follow the manufacturer’s instructions or ask your optician.
6. Do not sleep with your cosmetic lenses in, as this can lead to a higher risk of infection, , irritate your eyes and can even permanently damage your eyes.
7. Always wash and dry hands thoroughly before you handle your contact lenses.
8. If you suffer from any pain, redness, discomfort, itching, swelling or irritation, remove your lenses immediately. Consult your optician or emergency eye department and get your eyes treated as soon as possible.
