Tuscaloosa, AL – Halloween is right around the corner and as kids of all ages get their costumes ready for parties or trick-or treating, eye doctors want to get the word out about safety. Halloween contact lenses are available over the counter, to go along with masks and make-up. These lenses may add to the effect of a costume, but experts are concerned that the practice can damage your eyes. Dr. Price Kloess is the medical director of the Alabama Vision Center. He joined me to talk about some of the dangers of costume contact lenses.
