This Halloween, don't let spooky vision problems trick you out of a good time! Before you head out for trick-or-treating or costume parties, keep these eye safety tips in mind:
- Skip decorative contact lenses from costume shops - they're not FDA approved and can cause serious eye infections. If you want colored contacts for your costume, get them from a licensed eye care professional with a proper prescription.
- Make sure masks don't obstruct your peripheral vision, especially when driving or walking in the dark.
- Parents, consider adding reflective tape to costumes to help kids stay visible to drivers.
Have a safe and spook-tacular Halloween!
