Halloween Contact Lens Safety in Greenville
When it comes to protecting your eyes this Halloween, our optometrist wants you to practice Greenville eye safety when it comes to your decorate contact lenses. Special effects contact lenses should only be purchased with a prescription from a licensed eye doctor and not from the Internet. This is because contact lenses must be fitted to your eyes to ensure they stay in place while allowing your eyes to breathe.
Our Greenville Optometrist Explains the Hazards of Non-Prescription Special Effects Contact Lenses
If you opt to purchase your decorative contacts off the Internet, you could be risking the health of your eyes. This is because non-prescription contact lenses could be manufactured from unsafe materials or not have been manufactured according to FDA standards.
- Allergic Reactions
- Contact Lenses that Fit Too Tightly or Loosely
- Corneal Scratches
- Eye Infections
- Significant Vision Loss
Enhancing Your Costume with Contact Lenses at Carolina Vision Care
If you would like colored or special effects contact lenses for this Halloween's festivities, you should schedule an appointment with our Greenville optometrist for a contact lens exam. A contact lens exam ensures that you do not have any eye health problems and it allows us to update your prescription if you wear glasses or contacts. You can also get your decorative contact lenses in your prescription so that you do not have to wear glasses along with your colored contacts. If you do not wear glasses or contacts, you can rest easy knowing that your new special effects contact lenses are fitted to your eyes and are safe to wear. When you pick your contacts up from our optometrist's office, the fit will be tested, and you will be shown how to properly care for your new decorative lenses.
