Halloween Eye Safety Tips
Tip # 1. Halloween glitter is all fun and games until it gets in your eye
Who doesn’t like to dress up on Halloween? And fun face make up is a great way to complete that killer costume. But this kind of show make up is generally not formulated for the eye so be careful when you apply it! This counts for fake eyelashes, lash glue (this one is really no good for the eyes), glitter, glitz and other Halloween makeup.
Tip # 2. Monster contacts can do major damage to your eye
Scary cosmetic contacts are all the rage at Halloween – and even I will admit they make quite a statement. But they can also wreak all sorts of havoc on your eye including causing vision threatening infections in the cornea – which can really leave you with a scary eye. If you need this last little touch for your costume make sure that you purchase these lenses from a optical shop that stocks sterile contact lenses which can be fit appropriately for your eyes. Please take the contacts out at the end of the night. Curses to those who sleep with contacts in because its ghoulishly dangerous to the eye!
Tip #3: Beware of the Witch’s Brew
Unfortunately, a lot of the severe eye trauma we see comes secondary to too much Witch’s Brew – never a good idea. Be safe and smart when you are out showing off your wicked costume this Halloween. Have a designated driver or use a ride-share service like uber or lyft, be smart about imbibing and remember Tip 2: take your contacts out!
Tip # 4. Watch out for your Trick or Treating kiddos
Halloween is a super special day for the kids. What’s more fun than dressing up as your favorite superhero and staying up late to eat candy!? Unfortunately, pediatric ocular trauma is also common on Halloween. Masks can block peripheral vision, costume accessories like wands and swords can cause blunt trauma to eyes (ouch!), and running around in the dark is a set up for trips and falls – particularly in that slightly-too-long Princess dress. And if your child needs glasses to see keep them as part of the costume – dress them up and make it fun but ensure they’re still wearing what they need to see! All of this will keep your little monsters safe at play.
Tip # 5. Somebody put a spell on you
Uh oh…well let’s hope not! Anyways, the best kind of spell is a sugar coma from Halloween candy for the little ones and Pumpkin Spice lattes for the rest of us! Enjoy Halloween costuming, trick or treating, pumpkins and candy – but do it all safely and keep your eyes out of trouble by following the above tips! Happy Halloween, little goblins!

Your eye doctor might spot a health problem before you feel it. 👀

A comprehensive eye exam can reveal early warning signs of more than 270 systemic and chronic diseases, including diabetes, high blood pressure, cancers and some autoimmune conditions. And some of those signs can appear before you notice anything is wrong.

Why? Your retina gives an eye doctor a rare, direct look at blood vessels and nerves that are hidden beneath tissue almost everywhere else in the body.

That means an eye exam can tell you about more than your vision.

Tips for the proper frame fit:
Tip #1
Look at how the lenses surround your eyes. The best position of your eyes would be slightly up and nasal from the center of the lens. The more you deviate from the center of the lens, the more thickness you will have in your lenses.
Tip #2
The outer edge of the frame should be in line with your cheek bones or the widest part of your face. If the frames are inside the edge of your face, be sure that the hinges are wide and the temples curve around your temples. If your frames are larger than your face and you have space between your glasses and the side of your face, they are much too big.
