Chronicles of Riddick Contact Lenses

If you want your eyes to shine and look freaky, try a pair of Chronicles of Riddick contact lenses to surprise those who dare to look you in the eye. Mirrored contact lenses have been popular for years but be warned, they are not readily available to the general public and are most commonly used for the big screen.

The latest rage in Hollywood is the use of mirrored contact lenses. Made popular in 2004 in the film Chronicles of Riddick, these types of lenses appeal to people for many reasons. In the film, the main character, Riddick, played by Vin Diesel, is seen in mirrored contact lenses. This shows his special supernatural night vision or "eyeshine" that allows him to see without any night vision goggles or equipment. In the film, his eyes appear shiny and mirrored. This is due to the use of mirrored contact lenses.

Mirrored contact lenses come in non-prescription strengths only. They are available in either silver or black. The contacts have a shiny, reflective finish that acts much like mirrored sunglass lenses: they allow the person to see out of the lenses but others not see the actual eyes. Another feature of the mirrored lenses is that they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Mirrored contact lenses come in gas permeable only and only one size. It is important to be fitted by an eye care professional when planning on wearing this type of lenses so they can assess if your eyes are in the condition needed to wear a gas permeable lens.

The most common use for Chronicles of Riddick contacts is if you plan on dressing up as Riddick for Halloween or a costume party. Other times to wear mirrored contact lenses are:

• Theatrical plays
• Going out clubbing
• Outdoors for sun protection

Wear them any time you want to shock those around you and are looking to add some fun to your look.

Mirrored contact lenses are not as easy to find as other special effect lenses. Even your eye care professional may not be familiar with this type of lens. They are used mostly by the film industry but can be found online at several retailers. Some sites to check out include:

• 9mm FX mirrored lenses cost $300 a pair but are not available to the general public, only for film productions.
• Coco Contacts does sell mirrored lenses but they are often sold out. Check back often to see if they become available.
• Custom Contacts can create almost any type of custom lenses for individuals. Why not get them to make a pair of mirrored lenses especially for you?

If you want to look like Riddick, try a pair of Chronicles of Riddick contact lenses. A pair of mirrored contact lenses can add a special touch to any sort of costume or an element of surprise if you wear them for an evening out. If you are lucky enough to find a pair, be sure that you are fitted for them by an eye care professional before you plan on wearing them.
