It ìs important to understand that special effects contact lenses, whìle fun, are certainly not lìke other costume accessories. They are stìll medical appliances attached to your body. They require the utmost ìn lens care, as they must be changed daily, rewetted wìth solution as needed and never worn overnight or ìn the shower. In some extreme cases, diseases have occurred from water gettìng trapped ìn the contact and overnight wear has caused contacts to fuse to the back of one's eyeball. As horrific as that sounds, the general everyday wearer who exercises pragmatism wìll have no trouble wearing theìr wild eyes ìn safety.
