Some will take drastic steps to achieve this but most will change only a few things about themselves and leave it at that. Today, people even have the option of changing the color of their eyes with cosmetic colored contacts. Unlike prescription contact lenses, cosmetic colored contacts can be worn by nearly everybody and are available in a wide variety of colors and styles. So whether you want to create that special look for that special occasion or just feel that you would look better with blue eyes, these contact lenses could be the thing for you.
Unless you have worked in either the movie or theater industry, chances are that you would not have been accustomed to cosmetic colored contacts in previous years. These lenses were primarily used as special effects tools in most movies involving creatures of the dark like zombies, vampires etc… Today, these same contact lenses are available to the public and are used for anything from a Halloween party to someone just wanting to change the color of their eyes.
Special Effect, Colored and Cosmetic Colored Contacts
Due to their popularity, special effects contacts are mass produced or if you really need to, they can even be custom made. Just expect to pay quite a lot more for the custom made ones. They come in a wide variety and more often that not are directly associated to a particular character from a movie. Movies like The Lost Boys have helped make these lenses what they are today.
There are also the generic types of cosmetic colored contacts that look like cats’ or snakes’ eyes. Wearing these contacts, will completely allow you to look as if you really have eyes like cats or snakes without affecting your normal vision. There are also wolf eye versions available.
If you want to make more of a statement, you could even get special effects contacts that look like zombie or blind eyes. These lenses look like a solid white milky substance that covers your eyes. The only problem with these lenses is that you are not able to see through them hence the reason why you will see people only wearing one lens at a time.
Fire eye contacts are definitely the way to go if making your eyes look like they have totally been engulfed by fire whereas black sclera contacts will give you the look of dead black eyes filled with black motionless oil. You can even use contacts to make your eyes reflect like mirrors or for a bolder look why not try hemorrhaged eye contacts that will give the impression of eyes that are filled with blood
Cosmetic colored contacts can also be used to enlarge your pupils quite considerably or even make your eyes glow in the dark. These are perfect for going clubbing.
Whether to you like your eyes to be blue or brown or really stand out from the crowd at the next Halloween party, you can be certain that there are cosmetic colored lenses that will fit any occasion or purpose. One last to remember before you go rushing to the mall, is that although you may have perfect vision, you will still need a prescription from a qualified eye specialist to be able to purchase cosmetic colored contacts.
