Yes, that includes contact lenses that are only for appearance. Unlike a pair of glasses with no lenses, contact lenses are classified as medical devices whether they help you see clearly or not. Don’t just assume you can buy some costume lenses without getting a prescription even if your vision is 20/20 or better, because contact lens prescriptions are about the fit of the lenses on your corneas as much as they are about vision correction.To get more news about

This brings us to a common red flag when looking at costume lens vendors. If they require a prescription before they sell to you, then they are likely trustworthy. It is illegal to sell contacts in the US without requiring a prescription, so if a vendor tries that, run! You don’t know what other safety laws they’re willing to break if they’re already breaking that one, such as regulations on sanitation and quality of materials. It’s worth the money to pay a little more for lenses you know are safe.To get more news about

We touched on this already, but human eyeballs don’t all come in one identical shape and size. There’s no such thing as a one size fits all contact lens. If you try to wear a contact that doesn’t fit the particular curve of your eye, it might fall out or put you at risk of an eye injury. Just another reason that prescription is worth getting!
If you think your next Halloween costume could use a pair of cool contact lenses and you don’t have a prescription yet, don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us! We’re also happy to answer any questions you might still have about costume lenses and give you a few recommendations on where to find some trustworthy vendors. Just make sure you send us pictures of your costume!
