🎃🕸️ Happy Halloween! 🕸️🎃
As the spooky season reaches its peak, we know many of you are putting the finishing touches on your costumes — and that sometimes includes coloured or decorative contact lenses 👁️✨. While these can look amazing for your Halloween transformation, it’s so important to remember that contact lenses are medical devices, not costume accessories.
Only lenses fitted and supplied by a qualified optometrist or registered contact lens practitioner are safe to wear. Buying cheap or “one size fits all” novelty contact lenses online or from unregulated sellers can be seriously dangerous — they can cause infections, scratching, or even permanent eye damage 👀💥.
Earlier this month, we featured on ITV News highlighting this very issue, reminding everyone just how risky these novelty lenses can be if they haven’t been properly fitted. It’s a great reminder that your eye health should always come before the perfect selfie or spooky look! 🧛♀️📸
So, this Halloween, keep your eyes safe and your vision fright-free — get your lenses from a trusted professional and follow their care advice carefully.
Stay spooky, stay safe, and have a fang-tastic night! 🦇🕯️🧡
