Overview | Buying Halloween contacts online | Halloween contact lens styles | Wearing eyeglasses over Halloween contacts | Are Halloween contacts safe? | FAQs | Conclusion
Overview
Halloween contact lenses are also known as decorative contacts, costume contacts, novelty contacts, and special effect contacts. People use these contacts to elevate the look of their costumes on Halloween. Actors and actresses also use these contact lenses when playing vampires, werewolves, zombies, and other similar characters in movies and television shows.
Most Halloween contact lenses are purely cosmetic (Plano), which means they won't correct your vision. The FDA considers these types of contact lenses as medical devices just the same, so you'll still need a valid prescription from your eye care professional (ECP) if you plan on buying a pair.
Buying Halloween contacts online
You can buy cheap Halloween contacts from e-commerce contact lens sites, brick-and-mortar stores, and even at the offices of some ECPs.
However, shopping for Halloween contact lenses online is your best option. Here are three reasons why:
1) Affordability
Online contact lens retailers offer contacts at much lower prices than brick-and-mortar stores and ECPs. If you don't want to spend too much money on contacts you'll only use once or twice, then buying online is the way to go.
2) Variety
Online contact lens retailers often have a bigger selection of Halloween contacts compared to brick-and-mortar stores and ECPs' offices. If you're looking for specific Halloween contacts that you can't find in any store, chances are you can find them online.
3) Convenience
Why spend time and effort going from store to store when you can buy the right contact lenses from the comfort of your home. You can even get a valid prescription by taking an online vision test. You can then place your order, send a copy of the prescription to the website, and they'll ship your contact lenses to you. Simple, right?

Can you wear eyeglasses over Halloween contacts?
Yes, it's perfectly okay to wear prescription eyeglasses over Halloween contacts. Halloween contacts are Plano, which means they provide no vision correction.
Is It Safe to Wear FDA-Approved Halloween Contact Lenses?
Halloween is synonymous with costumes, makeup, and an array of accessories that can transform anyone into a mythical creature, a haunting spirit, or their favorite character. Among the most dramatic and attention-grabbing of these accessories are Halloween contact lenses, designed to make your eyes appear differently - perhaps as cat eyes, vampire red, or even glow-in-the-dark. But the question arises: Are these lenses safe to wear? Specifically, what about those that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)?
Understanding the FDA's Role:
Before we delve into the safety of Halloween contact lenses, it's crucial to understand the role the FDA plays. The FDA is responsible for the approval and regulation of medical devices in the U.S., and this includes all contact lenses, whether they're for vision correction or purely cosmetic. When a product gets FDA approval, it signifies that the agency has assessed its safety and effectiveness based on the data presented by manufacturers.
The Safety of FDA-Approved Halloween Contact Lenses:
- Manufacturing Standards:
FDA-approved lenses are produced following strict standards, ensuring the materials used are biocompatible, meaning they won't cause harm when in contact with the human eye. This gives an assurance that wearing them won't introduce harmful substances into the eye.
- Design Integrity:
These lenses undergo rigorous testing to ensure they fit properly and don't compromise the health of the eye, reducing risks like corneal scratches or infections.
- Packaging & Storage:
FDA-approved lenses are packaged and stored in conditions that minimize the risk of contamination, making them safer to use right out of the box.
However, There Are Still Some Important Caveats:
- Proper Fit is Key:
Everyone's eyes are different. Just because a lens is FDA-approved doesn't mean it's a one-size-fits-all solution. It's crucial to get a prescription, even for cosmetic lenses, to ensure the right fit and avoid potential complications.
- Hygiene Practices:
Like any contact lens, Halloween lenses must be handled with clean hands, stored in a sterile solution, and not shared with others. Improper care can lead to eye infections or other complications.
- Wearing Duration:
Wear them as recommended. Over-wearing or sleeping in Halloween lenses, especially if they're not designed for extended or overnight wear, can be harmful.
- Beware of Non-Approved Lenses:
Always buy from reputable sources. Just because a retailer sells a variety of FDA-approved lenses doesn't mean every lens they offer has that stamp of approval.
FDA-approved Halloween contact lenses, when used correctly and responsibly, can be a safe and fun way to elevate your costume. However, the key lies in the approach: Always prioritize the health and safety of your eyes. Get a prescription, follow proper hygiene practices, and pay attention to wear times. And remember, while approval is a marker of safety and quality, it's no substitute for personal responsibility and care.
However, even if Halloween contacts are purely cosmetic, they are still considered medical devices. To ensure the health and safety of your eyes, make sure to follow proper contact lens care protocols.
On this note, if you are planning to wear any kind of special effect contact lens this Halloween, keep the following tips in mind:
- Wash your hands
Always wash and dry your hands before touching your eyes or your contact lenses. Start by wetting your hands with running water, then apply a mild soap. Rub your hands for at least 20 seconds before rinsing. Dry your hands thoroughly with a lint-free towel or fresh paper towels.
- Put in your contacts before applying makeup
If you're putting on makeup as part of your Halloween costume, make sure to put in your contact lenses first. This way, you don't risk transferring makeup residue from your hands to your contacts. Much like dirt, germs, and other debris, makeup residue can irritate your eyes and potentially cause an infection.
- Take out your contacts before removing your makeup
Removing makeup often requires the use of a liquid makeup remover. However, applying makeup remover to your face while wearing contacts may result in the makeup remover getting onto your contacts and staining or damaging them. To avoid this, simply take out your contacts before applying makeup remover to your face.
- Only purchase FDA-approved contacts
Halloween contacts are still considered medical devices, so make sure you're buying only FDA-approved Halloween contacts. Buying cheap knockoff lenses may save you money initially, but they will only cause problems in the long run. To avoid any unnecessary risks, buy FDA-approved Halloween contacts from a legitimate retailer.
More Frequently Asked Questions on Halloween Contacts
- Are spooky eyes, or Bella eyes, Letstat eyes, or zombie lenses FDA-approved?
The short answer is yes, they are but only the versions sold on Lens.com. We cannot make a blanket statement about a style of novelty lens being FDA-approved across the board, as many brands & manufacturers make the same styles of novelty contacts, but not all brands make ones that are FDA approved. Lens.com sells only FDA approved lenses, including all halloween prescription contacts. So all the aforementioned styles, including many more, are approved for wear by the FDA.
- Who cannot wear novelty contact lenses?
Any person that has not seen an ECP and have had a contact lens prescription written specifically for them, cannot wear novelty contacts. ECP's are trained to discern eye conditions and determine eligibility of wearing contact lens, and thus can prescribe specific brands, wearing times, and fittings that are suited for each individual.
- What are scleral lenses?
Scleral lenses are novelty lenses that cover the sclera (the white part of the eye) and the pupil. They can create some truly scary effects. For instance, sclera lenses create the all-black effect of zombie eyes and the all-blue effect of the Fremen from the movie Dune.
- How long do Halloween contacts last?
With proper care and cleaning, Halloween contacts should last one year. Just make sure you have received adequate instruction from your ECP on how to properly clean and care for your contacts.
- What information will I need to provide so I can order Halloween or novelty contact lenses?
Whether or not you're getting Plano (no correction) contacts, you will need a valid contact lens prescription to buy them. At Lens.com, you can either send us a copy of your prescription or provide us with your ECP's name and contact information so we can verify your prescription.
- How long will it take to get my novelty contacts from Lens.com?
If you choose standard delivery, you can expect your order to arrive roughly seven to nine business days from the date of order. To ensure timely delivery, we recommend placing an order early.
- Are there Halloween contacts that correct astigmatism?
Unfortunately, Halloween contacts are not available in toric parameters. However, most people with astigmatism can still wear Halloween contacts for a short time, such as when attending a party. You can also talk to your ECP to determine which non-toric prescription will provide you with the best vision.
- Are novelty contact lenses suitable for use while driving?
No, novelty contacts are not suitable for use while operating a motor vehicle or any machinery requiring optimal visual acuity for safety.
Conclusion
Costume contact lenses or novelty contact lenses are a great way to spice up your look this coming Halloween. If it's your first time considering wearing Halloween contact lenses, just remember that you still need a valid prescription to be able to purchase them. You don't need to worry about the health of your eyes as long as you buy FDA-approved contact lenses and practice proper contact lens care and safety.
