How To Apply Halloween Contact Lenses

If you're planning to go all out with your Halloween costume this year, you might be considering using Halloween contact lenses to make your look even more dramatic. These lenses can completely transform your appearance, giving you a spooky, fantastical, or otherworldly vibe.

Learning how to put in colored contacts can seem a bit tricky, especially if you’ve never used contact lenses before. Don’t worry though, we’ll guide you through the steps to apply them properly. We’ll also cover some key safety tips for using FDA-approved Halloween contact lenses so you can enjoy your look without any discomfort or complications.

Gather Your Supplies

Before you start applying your Halloween contact lenses, it’s important to make sure you have everything you need. You'll need the following supplies to apply your colored contacts properly:

• Clean Hands: Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes or lenses to avoid introducing bacteria or dirt.
  
  
• Lens Case and Solution: If you are not using disposable lenses, make sure you have a clean lens case and the appropriate solution to store your lenses.
  
  
• A Mirror: Use a well-lit mirror to apply your lenses to avoid mistakes and ensure that you're applying them correctly.
  
  
• Contact Lens Applicator (Optional): If you're new to contact lenses, you may find an applicator helpful for placing the lenses on your eyes.

When applying FDA-approved Halloween contact lenses, remember to follow all care instructions that come with the lenses to keep them clean and safe.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Put in Colored Contacts

Now that you have your supplies ready, follow these simple steps to apply your Halloween contact lenses.

Wash and Dry Your Hands

The first step in applying any contact lenses is to make sure your hands are completely clean. Use soap and water to wash your hands thoroughly, then dry them with a clean, lint-free towel. This step helps avoid transferring dirt or bacteria to your eyes, which could lead to irritation or infection.

Prepare Your Lenses

If your lenses are in a storage case with solution, take the lens out and rinse it gently with the appropriate contact lens solution. Make sure you handle the lens carefully and avoid touching the part of the lens that will touch your eye. If your lenses are disposable, they will be pre-moistened and ready to go.

Inspect the Lens for Damage

Before you apply the lens, give it a quick inspection to make sure there are no rips or tears. Also, check to ensure that the lens is in the correct position. It should look like a half-sphere. If it’s inverted, it will be uncomfortable and difficult to wear. Gently flip the lens if needed.

Position the Lens

Place the lens on your fingertip, making sure it’s in the correct orientation (not inside out). With your clean hand, gently pull down your lower eyelid while using the other hand to lift your upper eyelid. This may seem a bit strange at first, but it’s an important step to expose your eyes.

Apply the Lens

Slowly and carefully place the Halloween contact lens directly onto the surface of your eye. Look up and slightly to the side as you place the lens on your eye to make it easier to position. Gently release your eyelids and blink a few times to help the lens settle comfortably in place. Repeat the process for the other eye.

Check for Comfort

Once the lens is in place, check to make sure that it feels comfortable. It should not feel scratchy or painful. If you feel discomfort, remove the lens immediately and check for damage or debris. If everything looks fine, put it back in after cleaning.

Clean Up

After applying your lenses, make sure you clean your hands thoroughly once again. If you are using reusable lenses, store them in the lens case with the appropriate solution to keep them clean for the next time.
