Special Effect Contact Lenses

Special effect contact lenses are not just for the movies anymore. Almost anybody can wear these fun and wild lenses. Keep in mind, the devices are fun and entertaining but are not without risk. A person not used to wearing glasses or contacts may have problems at first. First-time wearers often experience discomfort and vision problems until their eyes adjust. Illusion eye devices are made in both prescription and non-prescription strength. Now party goers are able to add a little pizzazz to their Halloween costume. For example, it's now possible to make the eyes match the vampire suit. Turn eyes angelic, satanic, or obtain the psychotic look of a serial killer. Smiley faces, targets, swirls, stripes, solid colors, flames, or teeth contacts are available for purchase. For those people heading to the big game, special effect contact lenses are made in the shape and colors of team logos. In fact, it may be possible to buy illusion type lenses in any shape, color and design a person desires. Imitation and illusions are fun, but Christians might want to pause and consider for a moment the image being portrayed when wearing some of these illusion designs. Blood red, wild, or sinister illusions might be attractive but may not be presenting an image Christians want to display. "Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that doeth evil hath not seen God." (3 John 11)

The lenses were originally designed for movies and television. Some people might remember the 1970s television version of The Incredible Hulk. When the main character morphed into his alter ego, after becoming angry, the camera focused briefly on the creature's eyes, which were green. By using special effect contact lenses, makeup artists were able to alter the shape and color of the eyes. Now, manufacturing methods and designs allow almost any person to deepen the color of their eyes, change the color completely, or transform into a cat, vampire, or dragon. Colors are sandwiched in between the lens to create the image. Although special effect contact lenses can be worn by a person who does or does not wear glasses or contacts, the devices must still be fitted properly. Novelty devices can be fun and a party hit, but they are still being put in direct contact with the eye. As a result, serious medical conditions can develop if abused.

Even non-prescription strength special effect contact lenses require a prescription written by an eye care practitioner to purchase. Also, the lenses must not be worn by more than one person. Transferring eye fluids can cause infection and other serious problems. Proper cleaning and disinfecting are required, too. Mishandling and improper use could lead to blindness. Again, illusion, coloring, or tinting lenses are considered medical devices. And most medical devices are regulated by law. This means that they can't be bought legally from just anywhere. So following the rules is important not only in use but also in purchase. Yard sale or flea market prices might be tempting, but avoid the temptation for inexpensive fun. The deal might impress a few people for a little while, but the risks and consequences could be long term. Like most contacts, special effect contact lenses cannot be worn overnight. Talk to an eye care practitioner for use and care instructions.

The design, purpose, and construction of illusion type contact lenses necessitates that the center of the lens be clear so that a person can see clearly. Obviously, having unobstructed vision is a good thing to have. Unfortunately, if the lens moves even slightly, the colored part of the lens could partially cover the pupil of the eye. As a result of the overlap, the person's vision could decrease temporarily. The same result could occur when the pupil dilates in the darkness to let in more light. Fortunately, the decreased vision is only temporary until the contact is repositioned. Special effect contact lenses can be bought from a variety of different sources. Once the prescription has been written, the lenses can be bought online or from many brick and mortar establishments that sell traditional optical devices. And they can be bought inexpensively.

Purchasing special effect contact lenses from a traditional retail outlet can save money, if done right. But buying lenses through the mail or from online sources can save from 40 to 70 percent off regular retail. Although, savings can be found through optical chains and mass retailers, shopping online or through the mail can give buyers the added convenience of browsing extensive selections in the comfort their home. Then the order is delivered directly to their door or mailbox. That saves time and energy. Regular contacts are available online or through the mail, but people who wish to enhance their natural eye tones or dramatically alter the appearance of their eyes or give a character illusion will find mail order services especially helpful. Evaluate all possible sources for the best deals, which involve a variety of factors: price, convenience, customer service, and return policy. But buying through the mail or online can be less convenient for some people. Once ordered, the product will probably spend several days in transition. For a premium charge they can be delivered overnight. Expedited service is expensive. On the subject of delivery, shipping and handling charges can deceptively push the price well over what would be paid at a traditional retailer. So pay attention to all costs and fees and avoid unpleasant surprises.
