Planning your Halloween costume? Heading to a party this weekend? Don’t let eye safety be an afterthought!
The perfect costume is all about the details — but make sure those details aren’t putting your vision at risk.
Before heading out for Halloween fun:
👁️ Skip decorative contact lenses unless they’ve been properly fitted and prescribed by an eye care professional.
🎭 Check masks for visibility. Make sure eye openings are large enough to see clearly — especially when walking outside after dark.
✨ Be careful with eye makeup and glitter. Choose products intended for use around the eyes and never share eye makeup.
🧙 Watch those costume accessories! Wands, swords, sticks and other pointed props can cause accidental eye injuries.
🔦 Make yourself easy to see. Reflective details, glow sticks or flashlights can help kids see — and be seen — while trick-or-treating.
A great costume should turn heads… not hurt eyes! 🎃
