Have you thought of making costume contact lenses part of your Halloween costume this year? Theatrical costume designers have called on the use of contact lenses to transform the appearance of actors on stage and in movies for many years. The eyes are where most of us look first when we meet someone, and simply changing the appearance of the eyes can make an actor seem more handsome, beautiful, dangerous, magical, inhuman, or whatever the designer wishes.

Have you thought of making costume contact lenses part of your Halloween costume this year? Theatrical costume designers have called on the use of contact lenses to transform the appearance of actors on stage and in movies for many years. The eyes are where most of us look first when we meet someone, and simply changing the appearance of the eyes can make an actor seem more handsome, beautiful, dangerous, magical, inhuman, or whatever the designer wishes.

Contact lenses designed to change the way a person looks have only become available to the public in recent years. Now the same ability that costume designers use to change an actor can be used by you.

At this year's Halloween parties, you can use completely safe contact lenses to become just about whoever and whatever you want. All you have to do choose the right ones to go with your costume.

There are two main types of designer contact lenses. The lowest cost, most common and easiest to use are small round discs that sit over the center of your eyes. You can still see through a clear center in almost all cases - one exception is an opaque lens you could wear over one eye to look blind in that eye.

Designers use the space around the clear center of these contact lenses to create creepy effects with colors and patterns.

Sclero lenses, which are placed over the entire eye, are the other option for designer contact lenses you can wear for Halloween. These lenses can change the entire color of even the whites of your eyes. If you want to create a unique and quite possible terrifying look for yourself this Halloween, making your eyes seem completely red or green might be just the touch you're looking for.

Since they are larger and cover the entire eye, sclero lenses allow designers to be more creative. You will definitely have a unique look if you use sclero lenses in conjunction with you Halloween costume. These contact lenses, though, are much more expensive than the other option and they are also more difficult to fit to the eye since they are larger.

The majority of costume contact lenses that are made for use during Halloween are made to be plano, a term that means they are designed for anyone to wear safely. Obtaining designer contacts with a prescription can be done, but is more expensive. If you can still see moderately well without your corrective glasses, it might not be worth spending the extra money, since you will only be wearing the contacts for a short period of time.
