A lot have already been written about contact lenses being
safe (FDA approved). Unless fake & counterfeit contact lens production is
strictly monitored; availability of contact lenses for consumers will always
remain a subject of conflict. As per medical authorities branded FDA approved
circle contacts pose minimum threats because they have already been tested
prior to pushing them into the market. However, one must not forget that
contact lenses even with all the health certifications need proper regulation.
Wearers must observe caution as contact lenses are medical devices and other
decorative/medical accessories might contraindicate when used along with them.
Halloween is apparently fun but it holds hidden dangers that you should stay
vigilant of, specifically if you plan to wear crazy contact lenses with your
costume.
Glow Sticks
Glow sticks contain a luminescent liquid that help them glow
in the dark. The stick if gets broken may spill out the content, causing temporary
inflammation. According to Donna Taylor, certified specialist in poison
information at the Tennessee Poison Center, the content is more of an irritant
than actually toxic. If accidentally licked or swollen, trying a Popsicle
or fuzzy drink will help improving the sour throat. Care should be taken that the stick’s incandescent
liquid does not contaminate contact lenses. The content may develop corneal rash or
stinging sensation. Immediately remove contact lenses and wash your eyes with
cold water splashes. Contact poison control center if irritation, swelling or discharge
persists.

Alcoholic Drinks
We all know that alcohol in excessive quantity is harmful.
Alcoholic drinks are drying for the body and may cause dehydration. Therefore,
avoid consuming too much of the alcohol whilst you party out like a ghoul with
decorative contact lenses still in the eyes.
Face Paints
Before painting your face read the labels carefully. Some
paints contain lead and other metals that are harmful and poisonous. These
paints leave skin rash against which your body may react severely. Always do a
patch test. Take care that face paints do not flake upon drying. The gunky
particles of the face paint and craft glitters may sting your eyes bad. They
leave scratches on contact lenses, which as it sounds is greatly gross. Only
use FDA approved cosmetics, contact lenses & SFX paints to stay edgy.
If you can be concerned about the candy being safe for consumption
that you won in trick-o-treat, then how can you lag insanely on these Halloween
preparations? Spread awareness & stay alert before you make someone faint
in your horror house this Halloween. Health comes first then come fun!
