FDA Blindness Warning: Improper Use of Decorative Contact Lenses May Haunt You When Purchased Without a Prescription and an Eye Exam!

The FDA WARNS that Decorative Contact Lenses can cause serious eye injuries or even BLINDNESS!

Even though Decorative Contact Lenses, like Cat Eye Contact Lens, or Free Color Contact Lens, may be most popular around Halloween,  they are a safety concern year round.

Every year, the approach of Halloween heightens fears at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that consumers will harm their eyes with unapproved decorative contact lenses. These are contact lenses that some people use to temporarily change their eye color or to make their eyes look . . .  weird—for example, giving them an “eye-of-the-tiger” look.

“Although unauthorized use of Decorative Contact Lenses is a concern year-round, Halloween is the time when people may be inclined to use them, perhaps as costume accessories,” says James Saviola, the Ophthalmic and Ear, Nose and Throat Devices network leader in FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

The problem is not that people use decorative, non-corrective contact lenses. It’s that many go about it the wrong way, which is DANGEROUS.

Unauthorized contact lenses of all types present risks to the eye that include corneal ulcers, corneal abrasion, vision impairment, and BLINDNESS!

4 Tips If You Want Decorative Contacts Safely

• Get an eye exam from a licensed eye care professional, even if you feel your vision is perfect.
• Get a valid prescription that includes the brand and lens dimensions.
• Buy the lenses from an eye contacts care professional or from a vendor who requires that you provide prescription information for the lenses.
• Follow directions for cleaning, disinfecting, and wearing the lenses, and visit your eye care professional for follow-up Contact Lens Eye Care.

Consumers should report any problems with decorative contact lenses to their local FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator. Any adverse reactions experienced with the use of these products, and/or quality problems should also be reported to FDA’s MedWatch Program.
