Fall has arrived, and the Halloween season lets one try new things. One of the more recent trends has been changing eye color. Of course for Halloween, the possibilities depend on the desires of which dark being or character chosen. Houston LASIK doctors want to ensure maximum eye health remains during the altered state. FDA only approves colored contact lenses for changing eye color.
Be Aware
Venturing into colored contacts can fulfill a pleasurable desire, but it has rules if one wants to come back healthy and whole. If not used to wearing contacts, know that one cannot swim or take a shower with contacts in the eyes. Uninvited critter guests will take up residence and result in infection. Clean contacts with a disinfectant solution and do so daily. Do not use tap water or bottled water because uninvited critter guests will attach to the contact lens and later the eye. One does not want one to miss the parties. Make sure to buy quality decorative contact lenses and have it checked by the Houston ophthalmologist and/or staff. Now that the boundaries of the activity have been set, the pleasures can begin.
The Prescribed
Various names exist for colored contacts, such as Halloween, theatrical, cosmetic, or costume lenses. Without a doctor’s approval, it is a risk to the eye’s health, so make sure a relationship with the doctor exists to get approval for the correct types of colored lenses. Those bought from an ophthalmologist or optometrist will be fit and proper. That prevents scarring, blindness, and infection. Be possessive with the colored contact lenses and not share it with anyone. Ensure you have a small solution container in case you have to clean during or after visiting and partying. The number seven remains significant during the Halloween season, even for colored contact lenses. Change the solution every seven days for the colored contacts, whether being worn or not. Buying prescription colored contact lenses puts one in the group of those favored and protected from malevolent spirits looking to up status, which can never happen, but they will try. Do not be tempted to follow. The prescribed win every time.
The Exam
Before embarking on the journey to the other place of existence, have the Houston Lasik clinic check if a recent eye exam has happened, and if not, have one. Colored contacts show an altered universe, and one needs to be ready for it to determine what exists and what is an illusion. Any illusions seen called floaters, be sure to tell the doctor about it. They have the recommended process for dismissing the floaters. Check if the lenses have FDA approval so that favor extends upward into the system.
Issues
With the altered state of the colored contacts, some things will become more apparent. As one bumps into beings, note if there is any redness, pain, or discharge from the encounter. All have an assignment, and being in the prescribed group, one should remain untouched. If touched with redness, pain, or discharge, the FDA system has reporting mechanisms that call in system beings. Do not worry. The Houston laser eye surgery doctors will remain safe, but the FDA will check on the minions that manufactured the colored lenses. Vigilance maintains the boundaries. Have a good time and enjoy the altered Halloween world for a while, but do the proper thing.
