Novelty Contact Lenses...For Your Wild Side
Is your life a little dull and
boring? Need something to
give it a little extra pizzazz. Novelty contact lenses might do the
trick for
you.
Novelty contact lenses can give you a
new and unique look,
whether it's for everyday wear or for going out and having a good time. They can offer the aesthetic appeal
of
tattoos and body piercing while avoiding the pain, permanence, or
health
concerns involved in body modification. They’re
also relatively cheap to buy and easy to find. Some specific
novelty contact lenses can be a little tougher to hunt down.
One of the more popular styles for
novelty contact lenses is
the cat eye lens. The effect of the cat eye lens is to elongate your
pupil to a
cat-like slit, usually filling in your iris in green or yellow. The effect is amazing,
especially if it’s
somewhat subtle. Often time’s
people
wearing cat eye lenses will catch a double take from people across the
room.
They’ll glance at the wearer and look away before their minds register
what
they just saw.
Another trendy alternative for
novelty contact lenses is the
black out or white out lens. The
black
out lens gives the appearance of having a completely dilated pupil
since it
blacks out your iris, making it look like you have huge pupils. One possible negative side effects
of this
type of lens is that some may think you are stoned, since the side
effects of
taking drugs are dilated pupils. White
out lenses also completely covers up the iris, but they make your iris
appear
white instead of black. The
effect is
similarly shocking, since it’s so unnatural to see someone without any
iris
whatsoever.
A wide range
of other designs can be found for novelty contact
lenses, from the mundane to the extreme. Circuit
board contacts give their wearer the appearance of a robot or an
android, making them a popular choice for science fiction fans or
Halloween
parties. Polka-dotted
contact lenses
give their wearer a diseased or deranged look, while flowers or smiley
faces
make an immediate visual impact. Of
course, novelty contact lenses don’t always go to such extremes;
colored
contact lenses can come in novelty ranges or even as everyday
prescription
lenses, allowing anyone to have the eye color of their dreams. Colored contact
lenses don’t only come in
browns, blues, greens, and hazels either; honey-colored or purple
lenses make a
subdued but impressive visual statement.
Keep in mind that novelty contacts
aren’t appropriate for
some employers or social occasions, as the more extreme designs tend to
unnerve
or disturb some people. However,
they
make for excellent conversation pieces, and the more natural lenses are
great
for everyday use regardless of the situation or occasion.
So if you're
looking for a way to spice up your life a
little, novelty contact lenses just might fit the bill!
