Novelty contact lenses are lenses with various designs printed on them. They were a Halloween trend that spread quickly. Soon people began to wear them for different occasions.

In fact, the FDA recently banned the sale of lenses produced in other countries People began to get infections because of the one size fits all approach, some even lost their sight.The cornea was scrapped and then infected. In other cases, the lenses were kept in solutions for too a long period and then reused. If you want a pair of novelty lenses, go to an ophthalmologist. You will be fitted for an extended wear pair for your eyes. When you get your contacts the doctor would give you instructions on how to keep them clean. Generally, they should be taken care of as you would any other contact lenses.
