Coloured Contact Lenses for Halloween: Pros and Cons

Book Appointment

Thinking about adding some extra “wow” to your Halloween costume with coloured contact lenses? They can be a fun way to transform your look, but it’s important to know the pros and cons before you try them.

Pros:

  • Cool Look: Coloured contacts can completely change your eye color or give you a spooky, unique appearance, making your costume stand out.
  • Safe if Prescribed: When you get them from your eye doctor, they’re safe to use and fit your eyes correctly.

Cons:

  • Not Always Comfortable: If the lenses don’t fit well or aren’t from a trusted source, they can feel uncomfortable or even painful.
  • Risk of Infection: Wearing contacts that aren’t properly cleaned or prescribed can lead to eye infections or other serious problems.

Always get coloured contacts from an Hamilton eye doctor, not just a costume store. This way, you can have fun and keep your eyes healthy at the same time! Call or text our office at (289) 309-1090 to schedule a contact lens fitting at Perception Eyecare!
