When most people think of contact lenses they generally assume they are corrective lenses. In today’s world of fun and horror, that is not always true. Although many contacts are corrective there is a wide selection that are not. These are known as theatrical contact lenses. These can be prescription but for the most part they are for theatrical or novelty purposes only and only meant to be worn occasionally. These are the fun and wacky way to express your fashion sense or your sense of humor. There are many wild and crazy lenses to choose from too.
Halloween is the best time of year to try out your theatrical contact lenses. They can make any horror costume seem more menacing or evil. A pair of vampire contacts will give your Dracula costume a more realistic appearance. You can also pair up a pair of black sclera lenses with Dracula for a menacing look. Any style of lens you choose will enhance and add to your costume for that special Halloween night party. Whether you choose a gothic costume or a scary one, you will be sure to be able to find the perfect pair to go with it online at Lensmart.
Many of these novelty contact lenses were once only available to theatrical and production companies. Now they are readily available online, at novelty shops and at eye care specialists everywhere. Many of these companies use them for special FX in movies and plays in order to make their characters appear more realistic. Vin Diesel starred in Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick as a convict with supernatural powers. These powers were emphasized by the mirrored contacts that he wore. Riddick contact lenses are available in black or silver and provide UV protection against the suns rays.
Some special effects contacts provide a thrill only under certain circumstances. For instance glow in the dark lenses only illuminate under black or ultraviolet lights. This means you can wear them all day without exposing your secret until you get to the party and step under the black lighting. Glow in the dark lenses are coated with a luminescent material that is activated by the black lights. Much to the contrary, black sclera lenses are perfect to block out all color including the whites of your eyes. They only leave a small triangle of color at the corners of the eyes.
This year when you are getting ready for All Hallows Eve, try accessorizing your costume with some special FX lenses like vampire lens, crazy, wild, wacky or scary lenses. Each one will lend your costume an evil appearance and some may even scare the pants off of your family and friends. If you are into the gothic fashion, you won’t have to wait until Halloween to sport your black sclera lenses that you purchased at Lensmart. You can add their special effects to your every day living. Check out the large array of lens available online at various retailers or talk to your eye care specialist.
