This Halloween, why not take your costume to the next level?

With Halloween contact lenses (also commonly known as "special

effects contact lenses" or "decorative lenses") you can do just

that. As long as you adhere to the health and safety advice

mentioned below, Halloween contacts could be the perfect

finishing touch to bring the character in your costume to life!



Special effect contacts have been used in film, television, and

theatre, even rock concert stages, for years, and now they're

available at affordable prices to you, the consumer. You can

find decorative contact lenses in all kinds of styles. From

simple colors (ever wanted to be a red-eyed alien or a

green-eyed reptile?) to elaborate designs (zebra stripes, stars,

flowers, X's...) there are as many ways to use decorative

contact lenses to enhance your Halloween ensemble as there are

jack o' lanterns aglow on All Hallow's Eve.



Some of the great designs and styles of Halloween contacts

available this year include: hypnotic spirals, cat eyes, wolf

eyes, eagle eyes, bloodshot eyes, flames, all-white, all-black.

It really gets your creative wheels spinning doesn't it? What

are you going to be this year after all?



One variable you'll have to consider when poring through the

choices is whether you want Halloween contact lenses that cover

the entire sclera (that's the whites of your eyes) or just the

pupil (the eyeball). There's plenty in either category, making

it either harder or easier to decide, depending upon your

viewpoint.

Knowing the kind of look you're going for will help a lot. Are

you, for example, trying to transform yourself into a particular

character (a Vampire, possibly, or even more specifically, the

Vampire Lestat himself - because that's available too)? Special

effects lenses that include the entire sclera often creates an

all-encompassing, fully-transformative effect, incorporating

more of the whole body into "becoming" this other figure. But

maybe you merely want to accentuate a "look", the zeitgeist of

an er a, or an abstract concept. For this latter option, a cute

design or a picture superimposed on your pupil alone, like a

favorites of the decorative lenses you'll find include those

with the Biohazard /"Radioactive" symbol, symbols of poker

suits, stars-and-stripes, Dune eyes, dollar-sign eyes, spider

webs, smiley faces, both Predator eyes and Alien eyes, both

Darth Vader and the Sith. You'll find styles and designs both

timely and timeless as you explore all the options of Halloween

lenses available.



Crucial in the safe and responsible use of special effect

contact lenses for Halloween or at any other time, according to

the FDA, is involvement by a licensed eye care professional. In

fact, it's the law. Decorative lenses improperly made or used

improperly have been known to cause permanent eye injury and

even eventual blindness. Therefore, you must see your eye doctor

before shopping for Halloween contact lenses to get proper

fitting and instructions as well as the necessary prescription.

You will n eed this whether you ordinarily wear prescription

lenses or not. And don't even think of purchasing decorative

lenses from any store (online or off) that doesn't ask for your

prescription; it is illegal.



Some of the things your doctor will invariably tell you are that

decorative contact lenses are not for everyday wear. Consider

them for special occasions only. Never sleep or swim or bathe

with them in, and don't use them while engaging in any activity

that requires sharp visual acuity, for example cooking or

driving or operating heavy machinery. In plain English - someone

could get hurt.



Halloween contacts should not be worn unceasingly for long

periods of time since prolonged use can cause strain and

infection. And they should be clean and disinfected carefully

before and after each use, according to your doctor's

instruction. If after using Halloween contact lenses, you notice

redness, swelling, or feel any sort of pain in the area, please

contact your eye doctor immediately. Even if it turns out to be

nothing, the joy in Halloween is that the danger is imagined, so

let's keep it that way.



Have a safe and happy Halloween!
