Special Effect Contact Lenses are Wild Contacts!
People use special effect contact lenses or gothic contact lenses for events like Halloween or for theatrical performance. Other uses include photo shoot, novelty or just to look different and weird people out. They were developed for movies and came from colored contact lenses.
Is a Prescription Needed?
Special effect and Wild Eyes contact can be worn if you need a corrective lenses (eye glasses, contacts) prescription or not. They are designed so that they only part that’s not opaque is the pupil, which is good because they work for people with light or dark colored eyes – unlike some colored contact lenses.
They are considered medical devices, so you should see an eye care professional before ordering them. Because of this, you will want to order them early enough so that they can be made and sent to you. Since not everybody has the same shape of eyes, your eye doctor will also measure your eyes and put those specifications on the prescription so that you get contact lenses that fit your eyes properly. This will help to prevent infection.
Also, don’t ever swap or share your contact lenses with other people. The ones your order should just be for you. This will also help protect against infection along with normal contact lens care where you clean your contacts after every use.
The Cost of Special Effect Contact Lenses
Prices vary on special effect contact lenses. There is a wide variety of ready made styles while some can be ordered that are hand painted. You, of course, want to get a good quality brand so that you know they’re using FDA approved materials since contact lenses are considered a medical device. Cheap special effect contact lenses may not be good for your eyes because they could be made with cheaper materials. You do not want the paint from the lenses going into your eyes after a while, for instance. But, in general, the cost is comparable to normal contact lenses.
