Wild Crazy Contact Lenses
From LoveToKnow Sunglasses
Wild crazy contact lenses give your look an edge, whether you're looking for the finishing touch to a costume, something to wear out at night (or day!), or you're doing a photo shoot or other creative project that calls for otherworldly lenses. No matter why you need them, you will need to obtain a prescription from your eye care provider in order to purchase your lenses.
All about Wild Crazy Contact Lenses
Wild, crazy contact lenses are one surefire way to express yourself. It doesn't matter if you need vision correction or not. If you like to switch up your look dramatically as often as you like to switch up your clothing style, you may want to consider purchasing a few types of crazy lenses. Wild Eyes is one company with plenty of unexpected looks, to include:
- Jaguar
- Zebra
- Wildfire—Red with a yellow sunburst
- White out
- Black out
- More
You can view the lenses on your choice of male or female if you visit the site. You can even get ideas for creating looks around your lenses from the head make-up artist from Buffy the Vampire Slayer there, too. When you look at a selection of crazy lenses at Wild Eyes or anywhere else, you will find that there are often quite a few horror lenses available. Completely black eyes are popular as are vampire lenses. You can, however, take a fun twist on interesting lenses with smiley faces, flowers, knock-outs and more. To take the craziness one step further, you can purchase full eye contact lenses.
Because "Wild and Crazy" Is Relative
If you normally sport a really tame look, it may not take much for you to decide a pair of contact lenses is "wild and crazy." That could be anything that doesn't naturally occur in nature, even if it's meant to just be pretty and not psychedelic or especially wild. Perhaps a pair of amethyst lenses or a turquoise pair with a golden sunburst in the middle—meant to mimic a "your eyes, but better" look—is off the wall for you and you're in the mood to turn up your stare a notch.
You can purchase eye enhancing contact lenses that work with the natural color of your eyes or those that are meant to give your irises a whole new look while seeming "almost" natural. Some of the colors are found in nature and some are very rare if they exist at all. They're a great fix for someone who wants to change their look in a subtle way during the daytime. Many of these lenses are meant for longer wear than traditional wild, crazy contacts, too, so you can leave them in from the time you get ready for your day until right before you go to bed.
One brand to consider is Expressions. You can look into Expressions Accents for subtle enhancements to your eye color or take the plunge with more dramatic Expressions Colors.
Where to Shop
One place to start, if you're interested in the tamer end of the wild and crazy spectrum, is your optometrist. They will usually be able to fit you for several of the colored contacts. In addition, you will be able to try out a pair before committing to a box to make sure that they sit correctly on your eye, feel comfortable, and if you need vision correction, contain the perfect prescription for crystal clear vision.
Once you get your prescription, you can shop for wild, crazy contact lenses online to get the lenses you want at a price you're willing to pay. Try:
- Color Vue Lens
- Novelty Contact Lenses: This allows you to "try on" special effect contact lenses.
- Color Me Contacts
- Coastal Contacts
- Lens Quest
A Word of Caution
Never share your contact lenses with anyone else, even if your lenses are "plano" or prescription-free. Sharing lenses could result in infection. Also, be careful when handling your lenses. Be sure to rinse them with all-purpose solution and soak them overnight. Contact your eye doctor if you have questions about handling or storing your lenses.
