A WORD ABOUT "DECORATIVE" CONTACT LENSES...
There are decorative contact lenses that feature wild designs and so-called "Circle Lenses" that make the eye appear larger. While generally safe if prescribed and worn under the supervision of an Optometrist, these decorative lenses can cause serious eye problems if worn improperly. Please remember, that contact lenses - whether decorative or not - are medical devices that must be prescribed by an eye doctor. DO NOT BUY LENSES from a flea market, hair salon, or online. Do NOT share lenses with anyone. Wear the lenses only for the time prescribed by your doctor.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
