One of the best special effects contact lenses on the market are vampire lenses. They are particularly popular at Halloween of course, but they can be equally effective for theatrical purposes. If you are in your local play or involved with any thespian activity, vampire contact lenses can be a very effective addition to your makeup toolbox. If you feel a bit mischievous of course, you can always pop them in when you have visitors knock on your door. Special effects lenses have been known to have a remarkable effect on the door to door salesmen population.
Vampire contact lenses are not restricted for use by people with poor eyesight. When purchased over the counter, they do not have any prescription attached to them, so they will not affect your vision at all. That being said however, if you have an optical problem such as astigmatism, then these types of cosmetic lenses will have no effect, so if you need lenses such as these and you have poor eyesight, then you may need to get custom lenses made, which could prove to be expensive.
Vampire contacts are prepared differently from conventional cosmetic coloured contacts in that they are not tinted. Because of the effect required, the lenses are actually printed. Because of this, the effect that they produce can be quite stunning.
If you were or have worn contact lenses at any time, then you will be familiar with the regime involved with putting the vampire lenses into your eyes and removing them. In addition, you should be also aware of the hygiene requirements which surround the use of lenses. If on the other hand you are not familiar with contact lenses then it might be appropriate for you to consult with an eye care professional to test that your eyes can use the lenses without problems and to help educate you with the regime involved with them.
It is essential that you maintain good hygiene when wearing any type of contact lens, and cosmetic vampire lenses are no different. Eye infections can be very serious, so following approved guidelines for the use and care of contacts is very important. It is imperative that you clean the lenses thoroughly before and after inserting them in your eyes, and also clean your hands before and after removal or insertion. I think it goes without saying that you should never share your lenses with anyone else, or share anyone else’s lenses, even if you know them. However, the warning is worth repeating again here.
It would also be wise to watch others who also use vampire contact lenses. If you ever encounter anyone at a party or anywhere else that looks the same with our without their vampire contacts, then be very wary, turn and run like mad!
