State Regulators Warn that Colored Contact Lenses Could be Dangerous this Halloween

 
 Volume/Number:  2013 October 24 
 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) is reminding Illinois contact lens purchasers that buying colored contact lenses for a Halloween costume or fashion statement from anyone other than a licensed eye care professional is dangerous. Colored lenses are popular among high school and college students and are often purchased at malls and flea markets without proper examinations and fittings. This puts thousands of Illinois customers at risk of scratches, infections and potential blindness.
