🎃👀 Think Twice Before Wearing Costume Contact Lenses This Halloween!

Costume or colored contact lenses might seem like a fun finishing touch, but wearing non-prescription costume lenses can put your vision at risk. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), these lenses can scratch your cornea, cause serious infections, or even lead to permanent vision loss.

Before you pick up those “one-size-fits-all” lenses from a costume shop or online, read this important article from AAO on why contact lenses are medical devices and why skipping proper fitting or a prescription can be dangerous: https://www.aao.org/eye-health/halloween-cosplay-colorful-contacts-eye-safety

Tips to keep your eyes safe:

Only wear contact lenses that are prescribed to you by a licensed eye care professional
Buy lenses from retailers who require a prescription
Never share contacts with others
Follow all instructions for cleaning, storage, and wear
Stay spooky — don’t sacrifice your eyesight!

🎆 Keep Your Eyes Safe This 4th of July! 🎆

Fireworks can cause serious eye injuries, including burns, corneal abrasions, and even blindness. The American Academy of Ophthalmology strongly advises leaving fireworks to professionals to protect your vision and your family’s.

👁️ Eye Safety Tips for Fireworks Season:
✅ Attend public fireworks displays instead of lighting your own.
✅ Stay at least 500 feet away from lit fireworks.
✅ Never allow children to handle fireworks, including sparklers, which burn at 2000°F and can easily cause serious eye injuries.
✅ If you experience an eye injury:
• Do not rub your eye.
• Do not rinse with water.
• Do not apply pressure or remove any objects stuck in the eye.
• Call 911 or seek emergency medical care immediately.

Your vision is precious. Celebrate safely so you can see the beauty of every firework for years to come.

✨ Wishing you a safe and happy 4th of July! ✨
