HALLOWEEN EYE SAFETY: Five Precautions to Remember

• COSTUMES/MASKS. Keep wigs, eye patches and headbands AWAY from eyes to allow clear vision and avoid irritation.  Masks should have openings wide enough for 180-degree arc.
• MAKEUP. Hypoallergenic!  Avoid putting makeup close to the eyes!
• PROPS. Avoid costumes with sharp edges like spears, swords, and magic wands. These can easily poke an eye.
• VISIBILITY. YOUNG GHOSTS AND GOBLINS NEED TO SEE CLEARLY!  Others should see them as well.  Choose brightly colored costumes and fabrics with reflective tape.  Flashlights with new batteries are great!
• COSMETIC CONTACT LENSES. These should be prescribed…never buy over the counter
