Theatrical contact lenses are favorites for costume parties. And for a
good reason - nothing can make your costume seem more real than a pare
of bright inhuman eyes. However, with so many special effect contacts
available it is important to know how to select good ones.
All special effect contacts are soft contact lenses. This means that,
with proper care and cleaning, you will hardly notice there is
anything in your eyes. Most people can wear costume contact lenses
without any problems.
What types of special effect contact lenses are on offer?
Theatrical lenses come in hundreds of exciting designs. You can get
cat's eye contacts, red or black spirals, wolf eyes, bloodshot eyes,
vampire, white-out, black-out or even an American flag design. The
most popular and trustworthy brands of special effect contact lenses
are Crazy Lenses from Cooper Vision and Wild Eyes from Ciba Vision.
As all color contact lenses, costume lenses can be produced digitally
(printed by a computer) or hand-painted. As you would expect, the
price of hand-painted contacts is much higher than mass produced,
digital ones - usually upwards from $150. Hand-painted lenses are the
most beautiful, and every detail is very clear.
However, don't assume that mass produced lenses are no good. They make
an excellent addition to your costume for a Halloween party, or just
for a fun night out at a club. On the other hand, if you plan to shoot
a home movie, where your face will be seen large and clear, a pair of
more expensive, hand-painted theatrical lenses would be better.
You can also order custom special effect lenses - an artist will paint
any design you like. Naturally, though, custom theatrical lenses are
the most expensive.
What effect would you like - just to change the color portion of your
eye to something exotic, or to cover the whites of your eyes as well
and make them look completely inhuman?
Most theatrical contact lenses only cover your iris, this way you can
get an effect of cat eyes, wolf eyes, red-hot eyes or spirals. But
there's another type of costume contact called scleral lenses. As the
name suggests, this lens covers your entire sclera (the visible
portion of your eye, including
