Halloween fun can turn frightful if you’re not careful with your eyes. From costume contact lenses to decorative makeup and sharp props, there are plenty of hidden hazards that can lead to irritation or injury. Avoid using non-prescription contact lenses — they can cause infections or corneal damage. When applying face paint or glitter, choose hypoallergenic, eye-safe products and remove them thoroughly before bed.
Parents should also check that kids’ masks fit properly and don’t block vision while trick-or-treating. A few precautions can keep the night both fun and safe!
