Prescription Halloween contact lenses are undeniably unique and fascinating no matter what angle you look at them. That's why it is not a surprising fact that these have managed to attract legions of fans throughout the years. But before you also get hooked with prescription Halloween contact lenses, it is important to remember that you still need a qualified optometrist to hand you out the correct prescription.

You can read a lot about how important it is to wash your hands before you handle the contacts, to make sure you get lenses that are FDA approved and other safety tips like not sharing your contacts with another person.

But let's face it, if you really wanted to know about the safely precautions for Halloween lenses, you could just search online for contact lens safety tips and be done with it. That is not to say it is not important to use good hygiene practices when you are dealing with your eyes, of course it is. But if you are looking for deals on things like zombie lenses, or cat eyes or bloody eyeball contacts, then that is what you want. Not a list of safety tips.

When you get your fitting, it's important to ask your eye specialist to show you how to put them in and take them out, especially if you've never worn contact lenses before. You should practice doing so a few times while you are in the doctor's office. Also, ask them to advise you on what sort of solution would be best for storing them and for cleaning them.

Always make sure you wash your hands before you handle your Halloween costume contacts, and never share them with anyone! This is an easy way to spread eye infections. Also, you want to make sure that when you are storing them, they do not harbour bacteria. You will only be using them once a year, but you'll need to change the solution you store them in every three months or so to prevent build up of harmful bacteria. - 39969
