To prevent infections and ensure eye health, careful maintenance of your Halloween contact lenses is necessary. Good hygiene practices like washing hands with soap and water before handling your lenses can go a long way. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for wear and care and consult a doctor promptly if you experience discomfort or symptoms.
To properly care for your Halloween contact lenses, follow these steps:
-
Disinfect your lenses using proper contact lens solution both before and after use.
-
If you have reusable lenses, store them in fresh lens solution after each use and ensure they are properly sealed before bed to prolong their usability.
-
Remember to limit your contact lens wear time to the duration recommended by the manufacturer.
-
Avoid wearing your lenses during sleep or activities that can lead to eye strain.
By following these steps, you can ensure the safety and longevity of your safe Halloween contact lenses, as well as your regular contact lenses, since these lenses undergo rigorous testing.
Wearing Prescription Halloween Contacts
People with perfect vision aren’t the only ones who can use Halloween contact lenses. They come in both Plano (non-prescription) and prescription varieties to accommodate vision correction for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. If you do not require vision correction or do not want prescription lenses, you can still wear Plano Halloween contacts in combination with prescription eyeglasses, provided the contacts fit well and do not cause discomfort.
However, if you have eye problems such as astigmatism, you should visit an eye doctor for an examination and obtain a valid prescription to ensure proper vision correction and eye health. When using FDA-approved prescription Halloween contacts, adhere to the recommended wear time, which is typically a maximum of 8 hours.
