We are officially in the month of Halloween. It’s a time for costume parties, haunted houses, trick-or-treating, and candy, but it is also unfortunately a time when there’s an increase in eye injuries. Many popular Halloween activities and costumes carry a risk of eye injury and eye infections. Here are some simple tips to avoid eye infection and eye injuries.
- Be sure to practice safe trick-or-treating, it is important to take some safety precautions. Make sure everyone in your group is wearing reflective gear so that drivers can see you easily. It is also a good idea to carry a flashlight so you can see where you are going walking house to house in the dark.
- If you are wearing a mask as part of a costume, make sure it fits properly and doesn’t obstruct your vision. Masks should have large eyeholes so you could see clearly. When masks do not properly could be dangerous for children while trick-or-treating especially because the restrict their peripheral vision. Wigs and eye patches can also obstruct your vision so be sure to use them with caution.
- Some costumes require sharp objects, it is best to skip adding sharp, pointed accessories to costumes. Toy swords and magic wands can increase the risk of eye injury.
- Be careful using any type of costume makeup that could contain chemicals and additives that can possibly harm your eyes and vision.
- Do not wear non prescription contact lenses, these decorative lenses can lead to very serious eye infections and disorders.
