Costume contacts have always been a favorite tool of movie costume designers. But the days when theatrical lenses were available only to movie stars are long gone. Now everybody can get a pair of costume contacts that makes their eyes appear bright and inhuman. The only limit is your imagination.

Costume contact lenses not only change the color of your eyes, but may dramatically transform your appearance. These lenses are most often used for special occasions, such as Halloween, but may also be used for theatrical performances or simply as a novelty item.

And for a particularly magnificent effect, you can get scleral contacts. Unlike ordinary color contact lenses, sclerals cover not only the colored part of your eye, but the entire visible portion of your eye.

Though costume lenses are designed primarily for fun, they still require the same amount of care that should be given to any contact lens. They must be cleaned and disinfected after each use and you should never share your lenses with others or wear someone else's contacts. Serious eye diseases and infections can result from improper care and use of any contact lens and can lead to impaired vision to blindness.
