Only crazy eyes will really complete that look. Just for you, our dear readers, we’ve put together some information about special effect contact lenses. Call it a little bit of Q & A (all information that follows is courtesy of Lens Shopper).
What Kind of Special Effect Contact Lenses Are Available?
The most popular special effect contact lenses are the WildEyes line by CIBA brand contact lenses. These lenses come in a variety of effects, such as cat eye, knockout (x’s appear where the pupil should be), wildfire (a sunburst pattern), red hot (a deep red) and hypnotic (a spiral pattern).
How Do I Get Special Effect Contact Lenses Without a Prescription?
You can’t. Even if you do not normally need prescription contact lenses, you will require a prescription for special effect lenses. Special effect contact lenses for those who do not require vision correction still require proper fitting. This has to be administered under the guidance of an eye care professional.
Where Can I Get Special Effect Contact Lenses?
Special effect contact lenses should be available wherever you get normal contact lenses. Do not put special effect contact lenses obtained without a prescription into your eyes. Non-prescription materials inserted into the eye can result in serious and sometimes irreparable eye damage.
