Optometrist works with Hollywood actors

New York optometrist Mitchell Cassel has help transform Jack Nicholson in Wolf, Brad Pitt in 12 Monkeys, and David Bowie in his rock video "Little Wonder." Cassel is a "special-effects eye man" and the president of Custom Color Contacts.

Cassel not only helps actors and musicians, he also transforms mere mortals. Recent surveys have shown that 80 percent of women want to change their eye color, so there's clearly a demand for his services.

The use of cosmetic lenses in films has increased the demand for non-actors who wish to change the look of their eyes to match their Halloween costumes, and now there are more eye care professionals who specialize in cosmetic contact lenses.

U.S. Congress passed law affecting Halloween contact lenses in 2005

The U.S. legislature passed a law making all contact lenses "medical devices" and therefore subject to regulation. This came about from reports that a fews teenagers had developed serious eye problems after using these cosmetic lenses. In one case, a girl contracted an infection and required corneal transplant surgery.

Several studies were conducted and showed that between one-quarter and one-half of persons purchasing cosmetic lenses did not contact a vision professional.

Lesson: you've only got one pair of eyes, so take care of them! Ensure that you know how to use your decorative contact lenses safely this Halloween.
