Don't let Halloween Contact Lenses become a nightmare! 🎃
28th October 2026
Halloween is the perfect time to get creative with your costume! But before you add novelty contact lenses to your spooky look, please think about the risks.
Important: You MUST see a registered optometrist or contact lens optician before purchasing any contact lenses, even if you don’t normally wear glasses or contact lenses.
Our advice? Avoid novelty contact lenses altogether to help keep your eyes safe.
Contact lenses are medical devices, not fancy-dress accessories. Wearing them can cause eye irritation, infections and damage to the surface of your eye. In serious cases, complications can even threaten your sight.
You don't need novelty contact lenses to create a fantastic Halloween costume! Try dramatic make-up or spooky accessories instead.
At Richard Stent Optometrists, we want you to enjoy Halloween while keeping your eyes safe.
Have fun, stay spooky and remember: your eyesight is too precious to risk for a costume! 🎃
