Wicked FX Contacts
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
Wicked FX contacts can top off a costume or give you an unexpected gaze when you're wearing your normal jeans and t-shirt. They're designed to give you a spooky, scary, or otherworldly look. There are styles out there to fit any need, no matter how scary you want to beāeven if you just want to look slightly unordinary.
About Wicked FX Contacts
Wicked FX contacts are special effect lenses designed to give you the appearance of an otherworldly creature. You can look like a vampire, a zombie, a demon, a werewolf, or any other spooky, scary being. You may simply opt for the glow in the dark contact lenses, which aren't limited to one type of monster, but definitely are not natural. Wicked FX lenses can be regular lenses or sclera lenses, which cover the whole eye. In addition, you could get lenses that make you look like you have animal eyes; cat eyes (housecats and wildcats) are a popular choice.
You'll need a prescription to buy your wicked effect lenses, even if your vision is perfect. While you're getting your eye exam, speak with your eye care provider about how to care for your lenses, how long they recommend that you wear them, and any other concerns you may have. Also check with the contact lens manufacturers for tips on the wear and care of your lenses. Be sure to carefully follow their instructions to avoid eye injury.

- Vampire (generic or specific ones from movies)
- Cat
- Mummy
- Werewolf
- Cullens (Twilight inspired)
