When the first colored contacts came out around 1983, they were considered a real novelty – a marvel of science. In the years since then, the world of contacts has undergone major changes.
One of these changes is in the market for novelty contact lenses. Color enhancement or color changing is no longer enough. Contact lens wearers are looking to boldly go where no one has ever gone before.
They want to make a statement as well as correct their vision problems.
While some people prefer the blending of colors in the Acuvue Colours Opaques to get the new eye color they are after, others are looking for their eyes to be a bit more eye-catching.
In those cases, companies like Wild Eyes stands ready to supply.
Their special Halloween line is the cat’s meow – and the wolf’s howl and the banshee’s wail for that matter. All manner of eye-popping eye-wear is in the stores this year.
From the cat eye to the star to the insect (yes, there is even a roach design available), the novelty line of color contacts seems to be well stocked.
Accessorized Eyewear
While all of Acuvue’s offerings are prescription and have some vision correction characteristics, Wild Eye and some of the other novelty lines offer plano (zero correction) lenses.
This puts them square in the forefront of the “accessorizing with eyewear” movement. As this trend continues to mature, there will need to be increased awareness of the fact that anything you put on your eye can create problems.
Proper care must be observed, no matter if your contacts are regular Acuvues meant solely to correct your vision problem or the wildest of the wild eye looks.
If the doctor-suggested hygiene and handling procedures are followed, you will continue to be able to amaze your friends with your new look or your improved vision – or both!
