They look the same as any other colored contact in normal lighting, and then they glow, giving off their own light while under a UV glare. UV lens contacts are crazy because they glow under UV lights, similar to UV paint or white shirts that glow under UV light. These lenses are made in many unnatural colors as well, which is what makes them fun and lends even more of an eery feel, since no one is born with white or pink eye colors. Cats are one of the few animals naturally born with this type of eye shape, hence the name ‘Cat Eye’ contacts. They are in the shape of two half moons and have an eery feel, since no human is naturally born with this eye shape.
For example ‘zombie cat’, ‘zombie nurse’, ‘vampire football player’ the list could go on infinitely. They can really be paired with almost any costume if you affix the word ‘vampire’ or ‘zombie’ etc pick your favorite half dead character + any Halloween costume and you are good to go. Here are a few of my favorite Halloween lens types:Ĭat eye lenses are versatile and can be worn for many different costume types. Obviously this does not mean go break the law or hurt anyone kind of different person, but it does give you mental freedom from your normal life and allow you to have fun and play with being someone other than your normal self for a few hours. There are so many different style and color options to choose from, and all can completely change your look, even making you unrecognizable or a different person physically and mentally while you wear them. The fun part about Halloween lenses, and Halloween in general, is that they let you change from your normal self to become anyone you want and your eyes are part of that transformation.Įven normal color contacts allow for a part of this type of physical paired with mental freedom and transformation to take place. I am also not sure if there are any FDA-approved or certified safe sclera lenses, so I would not recommend any of this lens type to any interested in purchasing Halloween contact lenses. I dislike sclera lenses, those that cover your entire eye, because that cuts off all oxygen flow to the eye and is not comfortable.
There are probably an infinite number of types of Halloween lenses for sale on the market. This article is assuming you are an informed contact lens wearer with a prescription, who will take good care of your eyes and contact lenses and avoid any of the aforementioned contact lens horror stories through informed buying and correct lens hygiene. Watch my videos describing the lenses and my experiences here:Īlthough my experiences were awesome, you can read about a few of the horror stories in my article about contact lens safety. I have never had a bad experience and I’ve worn Halloween contacts for the past two Halloweens – one hot white cat eye lens and the other a huge black pupil with red around the rim. These stories can be true, but often they are attributable to poor contact lens care, hygiene, wear, or simply the wrong contact lens fit or an irreputable contact lens brand. Most articles about Halloween contacts, or the ones that are shared the most that you are most likely to have read, are outrageous stories how someone ripped their cornea off because they bought a cheap pair of lenses or slept in their lenses for a year or wore the wrong size.
