On behalf of the Minnesota Academy of Ophthalmology, we are sharing tips from @aaoeye to keep your eyes safe this Halloween! 🎃👀
Some general tips:
🍁Get an eye exam from a licensed eye care professional such as an ophthalmologist — an eye medical doctor — who will measure each eye and talk to you about proper contact lens care.
🍁Obtain a valid prescription that includes the brand name, lens measurements and expiration date.
🍁Purchase the colored contact lenses from a retailer who asks for a prescription.
🍁Follow the contact lens care directions for cleaning, disinfecting and wearing the lenses.
🍁Never share contact lenses with another person.
🍁Get follow-up exams as directed with your eye care provider.
