Adding spooky Halloween contact lenses to your costume might be just what sets you apart from all other ghouls and goblins at the party. If you have ever seen someone with these special lenses, you probably can agree that they leave an impression. The choices are virtually endless and you are sure to find a set of contacts perfect for your costume this year. Here are some particulars to consider when looking around.
There are basically four different kinds of specially contact lenses:
Visibility-colored lenses: You are less likely to lose this type as the lenses are applied with light blue or green tint. Putting them in or taking them out is easier as the color allows you to see them better. Even with the color, they do not affect the eye color.
Enhancement-colored lenses: As the name implies, this type of lenses will enhance the original color of your eyes.
Light-filtering contacts: These lenses only enhance certain colors making it easier to see the specific colors of things, such as the yellow of a tennis ball. They enhance the color allowing it to stand out and help the player see it better.
Opaque color lenses: For those looking to completely change the color of their eyes, these will do the trick. These are the type you are looking for in Halloween contact lenses.
The opaque parts of the contact are what gives it the unique personality. Still allowing you to see with the pupil uncovered, the rest of the contact is up for design. Whether you are going out as a vampire this year, a cat, or a scary monster, browsing through the virtually limitless choices will allow you to find what you need.
If you do not wear glasses or contact lenses, do not think you cannot get yourself a set. Halloween contact lenses come in prescription or non-prescription.
The non-prescription type sometimes are called plano contacts. Take care to choose the right ones for you, and this might mean visiting your eye doctor to get specific details about your vision before venturing further. Being that you are not used to wearing contact lenses, it is recommended that you test them out in advance of Halloween. Putting them in and taking them out does require a bit of practice. Ask a friend or family member that wears contact lenses to help you out the first few times. They are going to feel uncomfortable at first, but after a short while you will hardly notice they are there.
