Contact lenses

 

Contact lenses are a great alternative for all those who don’t want to wear glasses. Almost everyone can wear them and they are available in many varieties. There are prescription contact lenses, sclera contact lenses, costume lenses, colored contact lenses, special-effect contact lenses, lenses for overnight wear and others. Any individual can choose the best contacts for their visual and lifestyle needs.

 

In this article, we will discuss about different types of contact lenses:

 

Prescription contact lenses

 

Prescription contact lenses are the thin plastic lenses that fit comfortably in the wearer’s eyes. They cover the cornea, the clear part of the eye. Prescription contact lenses are usually made up of different types of materials such as silicone, polymacon, polymethyl methacrylate or polymer materials. They are usually light in weight and virtually transparent which makes them hardly noticeable. These contact lenses are used for correcting eye problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, presbyopia and astigmatism. The main functions of prescription contact lenses are correcting refractive vision defect and for management of certain medical eye problems.

 

Colored contact lenses

 

Colored contact lenses help in changing the color of your eyes and can enhance your everyday look or other special occasions. These lenses differ a lot from clear contacts in terms of appearance. They are mostly used for aesthetic or cosmetic purposes but are available both with and without lens power to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Colored contact lenses are designed to give you a natural look resembling the colored part of the eye known as iris. These lenses imitate the iris’s natural texture and pattern and give an appearance of authentic eye color. Colored contact lenses come in three different kinds of tints such as visibility tint, enhancement tint and opaque tint.

 

Costume contact lenses

 

Costume contact lenses come in various designs and styles. The cosplay contact lenses can bring different characters to life. Turn yourself into your favorite character and achieve your most desired look. They can completely change the look of your eyes but contact lenses are something that needs to be considered carefully. Contact lenses are advertised so commonly that they don’t even seem like medical devices. Not only the regular contact lenses but even the costume or cosplay contact lenses must be the regulated and prescribed ones as they physically touch your eyes and the improper usage can lead to serious consequences.

 

Scleral contact lenses

 

They are rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses and are large in size. Apart from covering the cornea, they extend to cover a large part of the sclera and the white part of the eye. Their diameter varies from 14 to over 20 mm in size. These lenses have been proven effective in resolving vision related issues, refractive errors, irregular corneas and various other eye conditions.    

Scleral contacts offer advantages like stability of fit, superb comfort and excellent vision. They are known to be the most comfortable lenses that one can possibly wear as they are made of lighter and breathable materials. And when it comes to cosmetic sclera contact lenses, they provide a great look during costume parties and concerts. The most famous ones are the black and white sclera contact lenses.

 

Special-effect contact lenses

 

Apart from colored contact lenses, there is an amazing variety of special effect contact lenses that can make the wearer look funny or scary as per their desire. Earlier these lenses were mainly used by the movie and theatre artists but now they are becoming more and more popular among general users as well. Special effect lenses are soft contact lenses and cover the iris leaving the center of the lens clear to help the wearer see properly. Some of these types of lenses also cover the sclera, the white part of the eye when a dramatic effect is desired. They come in large variety such as vampire contact lenses, zombie contact lenses, movie character lenses, avatar contact lenses, glow in the dark lenses, superhero themed lenses and many more. These lenses are available in every color or design imaginable.

 

Consider buying your pair of contact lenses from a leading online retailer like Lenses-Sclera. Whether you are going for a cosplay event or planning for your next Halloween party, they provide contact lenses will fit the bill for sure. When it comes to buying high-quality contacts lenses, they are your best bet. It is because their collection of eye contacts is easy and comfortable to wear, light, and ultra-soft. Their contact lenses have an optimal water level, too, for making your eyes remain hydrated and feel fresh throughout the day.
