👻 H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N 👻

🎃 As we head towards scary season, we are again warning against the use of novelty cosmetic contact lenses. All contact lenses – including non-prescription novelty and coloured lenses – must be supplied by a registered health professional, such as your optometrist to ensure they are safe.

🎃 Novelty lenses might look effective, but they can be hazardous, and every year lots of people unwittingly put the health of their eyes at risk by wearing them.

🎃 Dr Paramdeep Bilkhu, Clinical Adviser at The College of Optometrists, explains why:

“Contact lenses need to be fitted by an eye care professional to ensure they provide you with clear and comfortable vision, while ensuring you are able apply and remove them safely and can care for the lenses appropriately. This means that anyone wanting wear novelty contact lenses should contact their local optical practice to arrange a contact lens consultation. This enables the optometrist to confirm that your eyes are healthy and take a series of special measurements, ensuring the best possible fit of the lenses.”

🎃 Costume lenses are often purchased on the internet, and in most cases by people who are not regular contact lens wearers. Not only do they not know whether the product is safe to put in their eyes, but they are also less likely to know how to handle and care for them properly.

🎃 These lenses may be made of poor quality or unsuitable materials, are not made to measure, and can result in damage to the eyes including infections, which have the potential to cause sight loss.

🎃 In addition, the centre of costume lenses may not line up properly with the wearer’s pupil, if not fitted correctly, making them less able to see. This can be extremely dangerous, particularly if they plan to drive while wearing them.
