Halloween contact lenses can pose serious risks to your eye health, including infections, corneal ulcers, and even permanent vision loss if not used properly.
Here’s a breakdown of the key dangers associated with novelty or decorative contact lenses often worn during Halloween:
⚠️ Major Risks
• Eye infections: Poor hygiene or improper fitting can lead to bacterial infections, which may cause pain, redness, and discharge.
• Corneal ulcers: These are open sores on the eye’s surface that can result from scratches or prolonged wear. They’re extremely painful and can lead to scarring.
• Permanent vision loss: In severe cases, untreated infections or ulcers can cause irreversible damage to the cornea, leading to blindness.
• Dryness and irritation: Even short-term wear can cause discomfort, especially if the lenses are low quality or not properly cleaned.
