If you want colored contacts for your Halloween costume, contact @youreyedr for safe, FDA approved lenses. Cosmetic contact lenses tend to grow in popularity during Halloween. While the trend can create a stunning visual effect it can also create lasting damage if unsafe practices are used. ... Types of cosmetic contact lenses commonly used for Halloween: Opaque tints These lenses have a solid pattern to cover the iris (the coloured part of the front of the eye), changing its apparent colour, whether they are dark or light. Special effect/theatrical contact lenses Special effect contact lenses are like opaque tints, whereby the iris is completely covered. However, instead of a solid pattern covering the iris, an abnormal design takes its place. Individuals might use these contacts to mimic cat eyes or yellow alien eyes. Circle contact lenses (big eye lenses) Similar to the opaque tints, these lenses cover the entire iris with a wide circular eye pattern in hopes of creating a wide doll-eye appearance. Risks and safety tips: Even though cosmetic contact lenses may only be used for a Halloween costume, your eyes could experience temporary or permanent damage if they are used incorrectly or bought without the guidance of an optometrist. Such damage includes: Eye irritation Conjunctivitis (pink eye) Corneal ulcers Blindness Visit: Ontario Association of Optometry @ontariooptometrists for more info.

This is what it looks like to people who suffer with an eye condition known as: astigmatism. Astigmatism is a refractive error which causes a disturbance in the way that light rays are focused within the eye. A lot of people who suffer from this condition complain constantly that driving at night is awful and the glare makes driving unbearable. ... To full understand why astigmatism causes a disturbance in sight, it is helpful to understand the process of sight. The clear cornea is situated at the very front surface of the eye and enables light to enter the eyeball. At that point of entry the cornea accomplishes about four-fifths of the focus needed for clear vision, bending light rays towards one another into a point. The lens further refines the refractive work begun by the cornea and directs that point of light towards a precise location on the retina called the fovea. If light is not focused into that fine point, the image that reaches the retina cannot be clearly transmitted to the brain. Your Optometrist will perform precise tests during your comprehensive eye health examination to determine precisely the ideal lens prescription best suited to ease symptoms
