Halloween contacts – make that costume a real WOW.
Looking for something different for Halloween this year?
Halloween contacts might be the answer. Costume contacts
have been used in movies and by stage performers for decades.
Now Halloween contact lenses are avaliable to anybody who
wants to make their costume feel completly real with those
unhuman, magical eyes.
What Halloween contact lenses are avaliable?
Your choises are great, from mass produced affordable contacts
like Wild Eyes or Crazy Lenses, to custom designed contact
lenses where the limit is only your imagination.
-
Crazy Lenses
by CooperVision is the
most affordable option. Halloween Crazy lenses come
in many designes. The best place to order them is CoastalContacts.com
-
Wild Eyes
is another brand of mass produced Holloween contacts.
Those lenses are manufactured by CibaVision and usually
aren’t sold online. One place you can order Wild
Eyes online is Eyecolor.com. Or you can buy them from
your eye doctor and pay twice more.
-
Evil Eyes collection
that is avaliable only at Eyecolor.com. Those connects
are less comon than Wild Eyes or Crazy Lenses. So it
is unlikely that somebody else will same eyes as you.
-
Scleral lenses.
Those are a real WOW. They are called scleral because
unlike most color contacts that cover only the color
portion of your eye, scleral lenses cover entire visible
area of your eye, which is called sclera. The only “but”
is that they cost a fortune. Check scleral contacts
out at Eyecolor.com
Be carefull when order Halloween contacts.
Buying Halloween lenses online is safe and convinient,
but only if you order from trustworthy, well-known company.
The trick is that it is very easy to set up an e-commerce
site and start selling stuff online.
If you order your Halloween contacts from unknown company
chanses are very strong that your lenses will be delivered
late if ever, and you will have a very hard time chasing
that company to get your money back. So be carefull!
5 things you want to know about costume contact lenses
-
Who can wear costume lenses?
Almost anybody. If you vision is good and you don’t
need any corections, you are after plano (no corrective
power) lenses. Corrective contacts are avaliable as
well.
-
Can I see while wearing
Halloween lenses? Yes,
the centre of the lens is clear so you can see. And
lenses with corrective power improve you vision like
ordinary clear contacts would. The only exceptions are
some white lenses (for blind eyes effect), those are
completely opague and usually worn only one at a time.
-
Are
theatrical lenses dangerous? Only to people who
will think you are a real vampire. Being serious costume
contacts produced by reputable contact lens manufactures
and ordered from trusted online stores are as safe as
ordinary corrective or color lenses. Only neglecting
proper cleaning rules and swapping your lenses with
other people is dangerous.
-
Do Halloween lenses come as disposables?
Usually not. Most costume contacts have a year long life span.
-
Do I need a prescribtion
for special effects lenses?
If you need them with corrective power, eys. If you
vision is good and you want noncorrective (plano) lenses,
prescribtion isn’t nesserary. However, it is a
good idea to consult with your optometrist anyway.
