Types of Theatrical Contacts

Changing the color of your eyes is one of the best ways to enhance your style and personality. It used to be that only movie and stage actors and musicians are using theatrical contacts to enhance the characteristics of characters they play, or in the case of musicians, to convey a strong stage presence and visual impact. Nowadays, because of their affordability, anyone can buy these cosmetic colored lenses.

There are many types of theatrical contacts that you can choose from depending on your mood or occasion. You can either use them just to change the color of your eyes or as part of a costume.

Here are some types of Halloween contact lenses:

· Wildeyes Contacts – these are popular Halloween theatrical contacts because they come in crazy designs and patterns. Some of these designs are Alien, Hypnotica, Wild Fire, Zebra, Ice Fire and Jaguar. Some manufacturers have already made available theatrical prescription contacts in wildeyes design. You can buy these lenses from optical shops or online.

· Vampire Contacts – another popular Halloween accessory, these theatrical contacts are painted red and so it covers the natural color of your eyes, turning you into a red-eyed monster. The middle part of the lens is clear which allows you to see through them but will not mar the effect of bright and glowing vampire eyes.

· Black sclera Contacts – these type of theatrical contacts cover the sclera, pupil and iris of your eyes. They are larger than other lenses because they almost cover the entire area of your eyes. If you want to achieve a dramatic and horrifying effect, these theatrical contacts are for you. But be prepared to expend more time and effort when inserting these lenses because of their big size. Also, they are not so comfortable to wear that it is recommended that they be worn for a maximum of five hours daily only.

· Riddick Contacts – these theatrical contacts were popularized by the silver-eyed character of Vin Diesel in the movie “The Chronicles of Riddick.” These glow in the dark contacts cover both the pupil and the iris. The attraction of this type of lens is its mirror reflection effect. It could really give a creepy and eerie feeling to people who are looking at you.

· Cat Eye Contacts – these are designer theatrical contacts that you may not want to use everyday. They have these unique design, specifically that of a cat’s eye, that will surely catch everyone’s attention. Wearing these lenses will not impair your vision because, just like other theatrical contacts, the designs are painted only on the part of the contacts that do not cover your pupil, a round aperture that controls the amount of light admitted on the eyes.

As mentioned above, theatrical prescription contacts and non-prescription contacts are available for anyone who could afford to buy them. However, it is recommended that you buy disposable theatrical contact lenses to avoid the risk of eye infection. There are manufacturers and distributors who offer discounts to customers who want to buy lenses by bulk.
