CDC warns about decorative Halloween contact lenses

A warning about those decorative contact lenses many use to accessorize their Halloween costumes.

The CDC says they can cause a number of problems including eye ulcers, corneal abrasions, eye infections and even blindness.

The agency says any decorative contact lens sold without a prescription is illegal.

If you are looking to purchase a pair, talk to your eye doctor first.
