Cosmetic Contact Lenses

Cosmetic contact lenses are a great accessory or enhancement for any outfit. Whilst
some people opt for cosmetic contact lenses as an added extra to their corrective
lenses, more people are using cosmetic contact lenses, purely for decorative purposes.

Most cosmetic contact lenses are temporary and by their very nature are rarely worn
for prolonged periods of time. Companies have really latched on to the ever-growing
trend for wearing cosmetic contact lenses. Consequently, an increasing number of
companies now offer a huge range of cost-effective and safe ways of changing your
eyes as often as you change your outfit!

Special Effect Cosmetic Contact Lenses

Cosmetic contact lenses fall into several categories including, theatrical, color and
special effect. Special effect cosmetic contact lenses are a more dramatic look and are
often used as part of a fancy dress or Halloween outfit. The range of special effect
cosmetic contact lenses available includes contacts such as spiral, lizard, alien and
glow in the dark.

Cosmetic Color Contacts

Cosmetic color contacts are one of the fastest growing segments of the cosmetic
contact lenses market. Those that require corrective contact lenses are often choosing
colored contact lenses so that they can have an alternative look. Non-prescription
contact lenses are equally popular.

Cosmetic color contacts range from a dramatic change of color to a slight
enhancement of natural eye color.

Caring for Cosmetic Contact Lenses

Cosmetic contact lenses are still medical devices and, therefore, should be treated
with caution. Always make sure that your cosmetic contact lenses are fitted by an
expert, even if they are non-prescription. Cosmetic contact lenses should be cleaned,
regularly, using specialist contact lens solution and should be discarded if they begin
to irritate the eye. Never share cosmetic contact lenses.

Cosmetic contact lenses are a growing trend that is both safe and fun, if used correctly
and sensibly.
