👁️✨ Why Safety Matters With Halloween Contact Lenses ✨👁️
Did you know that during our Halloween Lenses promotion, many patients asked why our lenses cost more than the ones sold online or “off the shelf”?
That’s a completely fair question — so let’s talk about it.
Halloween lenses may look like just another costume accessory, but they are actually medical devices. If they are poor quality, not sterile, or not fitted correctly to your eyes, the consequences can be serious — including infection, corneal damage, permanent scarring, or even vision loss.
We never want that for any of our patients.
At The Optometric Centre, our Halloween lens and special-effect lenses package includes:
✅ A proper eye health assessment
✅ Professional fitting to select the right lens curve for your eye
✅ High-quality, safe, medical-grade lenses
✅ Education on correct hygiene and wear schedule
✅ Follow-up care if needed
This is not just a one-time sale — it is complete eye care!
To understand why we take this so seriously, here’s a recent story from the U.S.A.
A young woman purchased costume contact lenses online for her Halloween look. Within days, she developed a severe infection that nearly cost her her sight. What was meant to be fun became a traumatic medical emergency.

Her experience is a reminder: Your vision is priceless.
And we will always prioritise your safety, even when it may cost a little more.
👁️ If you ever want to wear coloured or special-effect lenses — whether for fun, fashion, or costume — please make sure they’re fitted properly and safe for your eyes.
We are here to guide and protect your vision — during Halloween and every day.
