Theatrical Contact Lenses
What if just this Halloween's you want some more bang for
your costume dollar? Theatrical contact lenses would just be that enhancer
to turn your great costume into a stunner. You can be the howling beast
with yellow pupils or have a white out pair of contacts as befitting an
other worldly alien. With just so many theatrical contact lenses designs
in the market, the only limits are your imagination! Yet, it is important
to remember that theatrical contact lenses are still medical devices.
Sure, you can wear theatrical or costume contacts even if you do not have
a prescription. However, FDA treats theatrical contacts just like all
other contact lenses whether they are Plano or not. Since they are still
foreign objects that one places in the eyes, they will cause eye infections
if you don't go to a professional for a prescription and to be fitted.
The care and maintenance needed for theatrical contacts are not so different
from that given to prescription or non-prescribed contacts. Here are some
dos and don'ts:
- Provided these are properly handled and cared for the color will stay fixed to the lens.
- Don't use any peroxide or alcohol system to disinfect the lenses, as peroxide may cause discoloration.
- Most costume contacts are warranted against manufacturer defect for 1 year. Ask to find out how long the colors are guaranteed to last.
- Get fitted for these costume contacts. It's really a sound idea, aside for aside from it being the law, the safety of your eyes is a matter of importance.
You can have the eyes of a jaguar, vampire, the grim reaper, or a zombie.
For the range of selections and prices of costume contacts are nowadays
almost infinite. These theatrical contacts can be hand painted. These
contacts can run into hundreds depending on your taste and how customized
you want it to be!
Or you could settle for the mass marketed ones. Whatever, you choose,
be sure to the compare the prices of the contacts and shipping charges,
so you get the best deal for that dramatic look!
