Want decorative contacts for your Halloween or cosplay costume? It takes more than a quick run to the Halloween store.
Avoid the scare of serious eye injury or permanent damage to your eye from costume contacts with a trip to an optometrist or ophthalmologist before you buy. Whether you want vampire, zombie, “circle eye” or other specialty contacts, keep in mind having these festive Halloween looks requires getting a medical device – contact lenses.
Buying costume contacts off the shelf or online may seem convenient. But it’s illegal to sell any contact lenses without a
prescription in the United States. Using knock-off contacts could be dangerous to your eye health.
