Safe Halloween contact lenses

Epic eye transformations aside, one of the most important considerations when buying Halloween contact lenses is safety. There’s been a whole plethora of press that focuses on the dangers of wearing them. However, the reality is that more than 45 million Americans wear contact lenses and eye complications among them are extremely rare.

In order to ensure optimum safety, our designs are all printed on soft lenses (the type of lens worn by 90% of US contact lens wearers) at our UK-based manufacturing facility, you won’t find any cheap and nasty imports here. Meanwhile, we only use approved dye, comply with the standards outlined in the EU Cosmetics Directive, and frequently commission independent tests to ensure our lenses are safe for everyday use.

Despite this, you should always observe the following safety precautions when handling and wearing Halloween contact lenses:

You should clean your reusable lenses in contact lens solution after use and store them in an appropriate case when not in use. We recommend using ReNu Multipurpose Contact Lens Solution.

You should immediately remove your Halloween contacts, discontinue use and seek advice from a qualified optometrist or eye doctor if your eyes become sore, red, or itchy, or if your vision suddenly becomes blurry or distorted.

You should not under any circumstances wear a pair of Halloween contact lenses that have reached their expiry date. You should also note that the lifespan of your lenses (i.e. 90 days) begins from the day the seal is broken on the blister packaging and is counted as 90 calendar days, not 90 individual uses. For example, if you only wear them once a month, they will still only last for three months.

You should not share a pair of lenses with another person due to the risk of bacteria or infection being transferred between eyes.
