Is it safe to use Halloween colored contact lenses?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Are Halloween colored contact lenses safe? Do people who need prescribed contact lenses be using them?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Ophthalmologists do not recommend colored contact lenses. However, they may be used occasionally for not more than a few hours. The reason is that compared to regular glasses, most colored lenses have a lesser tendency to allow oxygen to pass through to the corneas, thus causing damage to the corneal cells. This problem does not depend on whether the user is a prescription lens user or not. It depends on the quality of the lens and a few biological variables of the person using them. I hope this helps you.
