Mirrored Eye Contact Lenses

Mirrored eye contact lenses may sound like an odd addition to special effect lenses, but they actually serve a very important purpose and are more frequently used than you might imagine. Wear them for sports or as a personal statement, and go as tame or crazy as you'd like.

There are two main purposes for mirrored contact lenses, not including the potential vision correction that goes along with most types of contact lenses:

• Relief for light-sensitive eyes in the sun or under other bright light, especially in sports. They allow athletes to play harder without suffering so much from the effect of the sun in their eyes. Some even offer sun protection, which is still very important since you will probably not be wearing sunglasses on the field. You get the reduction of glare with the convenience of not worrying about your glasses or goggles being knocked off during a game.
• The aforementioned special effect look, which you can add to by purchasing mirrored lenses with pictures painted on them. This is perhaps the most popular reason to wear mirrored contact lenses, as theatrical contact lenses in daily life are gaining more and more attention, especially since Vin Diesel wore mirrored lenses as Riddick.

With mirrored lenses, you can see out but others can't see in because the surface of each mirrored lens is shiny. Other people will simply see their reflection in your lenses while you will be able to see them quite clearly.

Mirrored contacts come in different colors, including black and silver, and some even have pictures painted on them for extra interest. In addition to that, they are available in regular contact lens form as well as sclera lenses that cover the whole eye. You can even get mirrored black sclera lenses so that it looks as if you have no eyes at all, just holes. For those who like their contact lenses to be creepy, the mirrored style is worth a look.

To purchase this type of lenses, you'll need a prescription from your optometrist. Even if you don't need vision correction, you still are required by law to have a prescription to acquire any kind of contact lens. You can purchase lenses from the following online retailers:

• Fashion Contac t Lenses: Get plano (lenses that do not correct vision) mirror silver contacts here.
• 9mm SFX: Here, you can find mirrored black sclera lenses or silver mirrored lenses.
• Custom Contacts: This site allows you to order exactly what you want. They can custom make mirrored lenses.
• FX Eyes: Here is another site where you can order a pair of mirrored lenses that are claimed to be like those in the Riddick movies.

Some prescriptions may be harder to find than others in the mirrored lenses of any color or style. It is highly recommended that you get fitted for even crazy lenses, simply because lenses that fit incorrectly can irritate or damage the eyes.

Do not wear these or any special effect lenses for extended amounts of time. These are great for nights out or a few hours in bright light, but not intended for long-term wear. When it comes to caring for your lenses, make sure you rinse them thoroughly when you take them out and before putting them in, and that you soak them overnight in the appropriate contact solution.

You may even find that you prefer mirrored contacts designed for one-day wear; you throw those away when you're done, inserting a brand new pair the next time you want to shock others with your mirrored gaze or give your eyes some relief from the glare.

Mirrored eye contact lenses have multiple purposes and come in a variety of styles. Due to the number of retailers out there that sell pre-made and custom lenses, there is no reason that you can't get just the reflective lenses you desire.
