Be Wary of Buying Cheap Over-the-Counter and Online Contacts
But when it comes to colored contacts for Halloween, you have to be very careful. The popular holiday gives a lot of people an excuse to buy cheap contacts over the counter or online. But you should know how dangerous that is, and illegal. In the United States it is illegal to sell colored contacts without a prescription, because of the damage that can be caused by them. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, “many of the lenses found online or in beauty salons, novelty shops, or in pop-up Halloween stores are not FDA-approved and are being sold illegally.”
Naturally this means it’s safer for you to be seen by a professional, like the trained optometrists at Inglewood Optometric Center. At Inglewood, we make sure to provide you with an eye exam, where your eyes will be measured to make sure we fit you with the appropriate size contacts. We’ll also make sure to go over proper contact lens care so you know how to take care of them, in case you want to use them for more than just Halloween. In fact the ones we carry, last up to 3 months.
