Part of getting the costume right would be to get the right wig and cosplay contact lenses online as it plays a crucial role in getting the character perfect.
With the increase in popularity comes the increase in suppliers and the best way nowadays have become online shopping.
So what do you have to do that you not only get the proper product but also a safe product when purchasing online?

So always do your homework on the online supplier and see if any problems have arisen from their sales or products using not only their website but also social media.
- 2: SEARCH THE CATALOGUES: when you find the right and safe online supplier, go through their catalogs and see if they match your characters and if any way infringing on any trademarks or even better if they work along with the trademarked character or studio of the character you wish to portray.
This guarantees not only you get a sage product but also a product that is original compared to what it is supposed to be for the character you want to dress up as and have the right contact lenses.
- 3: MAKE SURE FDA APPROVED OR AT LEAST MEDICALLY APPROVED: as cosplay contact lenses online or medical devices you are going to put directly into or onto your most sensitive and crucial body part (and most valuable sensor) the eyeball, make sure you supplier is either FDA approved or works with a medical professional.
The reason behind the medical professional is, as they were always the sole provider of corrective eye-wear like lenses, they have seen the value in linking up with online suppliers to not only get in on the market but make sure you get a safe product that will not be damaging to the health of your eyeball.
