Special Effects Circle Lenses

Contact lenses come in a wide variety of size, shape and color. More and more people prefer to go for contacts over glasses, for both medical and aesthetic reasons. The biggest advantage that contacts have over eye glasses is that they come in many different colors, which makes it possible for you to change your eye color depending on the occasion.

USES OF SPECIAL- EFFECTS LENSES

This adaptability has found wide use in both prescription contacts and non-prescription contacts. People can now become more adventurous with their eyes, accentuating their looks in the process. The film industry has been using contact lenses for quite some time now, and these contacts are usually called Theatrical or special effects lenses. They are meant to be as haunting as the characters that wear them are. Films that have villains in the form of vampires, demons and aliens normally use special effects lenses. Admirers of these films will find themselves wishing to have eyes just like the characters do, and these are also widely available especially for Halloween costumes. These lenses tend to be more expensive as well.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN BUYING SPECIAL -EFFECTS LENSES

Firstly, before heading out to buy, make sure that you have visited an eye doctor for a fitting to be done and have a prescription written for you. Most dishonest dealers that sell special effects contacts without a prescription are usually doing so illegally, and you will ultimately pay the price for this with your eyes. Do not buy lenses that come on an “all size fits all” basis. Poor fitting lenses can cause serious eye problems. Be sure also to buy your contacts from vendors that are licensed and authorized to sell vision products, to be on the safe side, as they will more often ask you for a prescription before selling the product to you.

CARING FOR SPECIAL EFFECTS LENSES

All contact lenses need proper care in order for the wearer to enjoy their use. Poor care for these contacts can bring about undesirable eye discomfort, pain and infections. Special effects lenses are made of opaque material and are generally thicker. This makes it very hard for the eyes to obtain the required amounts of oxygen for proper circulation. As such, the lenses should never be worn to bed at night. The lenses should be stored properly to avoid damage, as well as cleaned everyday as prescribed by the eye doctor, using the proper antiseptic solutions.

Utmost care should also go to your eyes, as they are far more important to you than the occasional use lenses. Whenever an irritation occurs or redness and soreness are observed, stop wearing the lenses immediately and seek medical help. An infection may probably have caught they eyes, and taking care of the problem can help reduce the possibility of one going blind or developing complicated eye problems. Do not share your lenses with anyone, as this is the easiest way for bacteria to travel to your eyes and cause infections.
