It's October which means it's Contact Lens Safety Month! With Halloween right around the corner it's important to make sure everyone is wearing contact lenses correctly and safely to ensure a fun Halloween. 
When wearing regular daily contact lenses there are a few important things to remember:
  • Always visit an eye doctor to be fitted for contact lenses
  • Don't wear contact lenses overnight (Unless wearing lenses specifically designed for overnight wear)
  •  Always use commercially produced sterile contact solution to clean contact lenses
  • Don't reuse your solution, always put contacts in fresh contact solution every night
  • Make sure to use contacts only as long as directed (Daily, Biweekly, Monthly)
  • Ensure your hands are clean when putting in and removing lenses
And as Halloween gets closer it is important to remember that if you plan on using colored contact lenses with your costume to get them from your eye doctor! Colored contacts that are used without an eye doctors prescription can pose numerous risks to your eye health including potential loss of sight. So in order to have a safe Halloween head over to your eye doctor to get fitted for colored contacts!
