The experience of Jess Wilby last Halloween has put her off wearing cheap lenses after the fancy dress left her in excruciating pain

“I followed the instructions on the packaging and still managed to get seriously hurt.

“They aren’t safe in my opinion and it really isn’t worth the risk for one night out.

“If you’re really desperate to complete your outfit, seek professional products.

“There are cheap alternatives, but how much do you value your sight and general health? It might sound dramatic but that’s the reality of it.

“I only had mine in for three hours and needed to take three days off work, imagine if I’d carried on and not realised the danger.

“Things could have been a lot worse! I definitely won’t be using them again.”

Dr Schallhorn said: “It is very common to see such outlets as party shops, market stalls, convenience stores and even beauty salons selling these extremely dangerous products to customers of all ages in the lead-up to Halloween.

As a result of this prevalence, customers therefore believe them to be perfectly safe, when they are, in reality, anything but.

He continued: “If you really do feel like your Halloween costume won’t suffice without additional and spooky eye-wear, then we urge you to visit eye care professionals who are able to write you up a prescription for the correct type of lenses you need, and be sure to follow instructions and the cleaning processes thoroughly.”
