How does someone who does not wear contacts, wear special contacts for halloween?

No offense but it sounds kind of silly for him to be sticking anything into his eyes at all. Is he really that concerned about his costume?

He should not be wearing contacts if his eyes are sensitive. Those costume contacts are not (to my knowledge) sterile and are, therefore, unsafe. Don’t risk it.

@Facade
most costume contacts are FDA approved.

He shouldn’t try. If he’s psychologically freaked out, that’s not going to change.

Give it up.

@judochop Oh really? Good

@Facade Now if only they made them in Rx… “Blind”

Contacts of any kind are difficult for some people to get used to. He needs to talk to an optometrist about his issue.

Yeah, i guess that when he went to doctor for the thing in his eye they put some drops in that numbed temporarily; we were wondering if it was over the counter or if there was any other temporary(as in hourly/minute) releif… to calm the body defenses…I guess it is a lost cause

What is the Halloween costume? just curious

@Falkor As soon as they wear off there’s going to be the same problem.

Costume contacts tend to be less comfortable than regular. Also, they are not approved for sleeping in, so you risk infection, ulcers, etc if you sleep in them. I also heard recently from a optician that they really aren’t supposed to sell them to people without a prescription.

Yeah, this is probably a bad idea. I wear contacts and have never had a problem, and I know some people simply cannot put anything near their eyes, like my boyfriend. Anyways, he ordered the wrong color.
