In the province of Saskatchewan only trained and licensed professionals such as contact lens practitioners, optometrists of ophthalmologists are legally permitted to dispense contact lenses. The dispensing of contact lenses by persons who are not licensed to do so is a violation of the SCO Opticians Act and Regulatory Bylaws. If you plan on getting decorative contact lenses, remember to purchase from a valid source; optical dispensaries, eye doctors’ offices, with a valid pre...scription. Do not purchase from costume shops, beauty salons, drug stores, flea markets, or anywhere that doesn’t require a prescription. Keep your eyes safe this Halloween!
