Custom color contact lenses come in two types, prosthetic and special effects contact lenses. They can be manufactured to hide an eye defect or just to simply hide an eye injury and also to be used as special effects in the world of theatre and movies. In this article, we will try to discuss both.

Prosthetic Custom Color Contact Lenses

Prosthetic contact lenses are usually hand painted and their main purpose is to usually match a "normal" eye that has been damaged. It is amazing what can be done nowadays as people often cannot distinguish between the fake or normal eye as they are unbelievably close to the natural thing.

Custom made soft contact lenses are manufactured with materials that are special to allow for very comfortable wear. They are also made so that they will easily bond to the multi-layered pigments that are used to give depth and definition that are very close to the real deal.

As prosthetic lenses are made to order, and can only be used by the one person, the prices for these custom color contact lenses are extremely high and sometimes cost up to a few thousands of dollars. It is primarily due to this reason that companies that manufacture these lenses do not usually offer any kind of refunds as they are one of a kind and only suited to an individual.

An initial consultation must be made with specific companies who offer this service and they will not substitute existing medical records for a complete examination. Patients can be color-matched during the initial consultation, fitted and measured, and photographed. Specific needs will also be evaluated at this time.

Prosthetic custom color contact lenses can last up to two years if well cared for and for that reason, they will required regular maintenance just like any other contact lenses. Except from astigmatism, custom color contact lenses can be made to correct nearly all vision problems.

Special Effects Custom Color Contact Lenses

Special effects custom color contact lenses have been in use in the movie and theatre industries for many years and have only been available to the general public in the last few years. There are many stores on the web that offer a wide variety of custom color contact lenses to be used in movies, theatre or on special occasions like Halloween.

As with any contact lenses, you should see your local eye doctor or specialist before ordering or buying them. Special effects contact lenses also known as crazy contact lenses can be used purely as special effects lenses and/or to correct vision problems.

Every pair of lenses is custom made for the buyer and can come in such varieties as bloody or hemorrhaged eyes, aged eyes, cataracts, blind effects, and mirrored eyes.

Although quite expensive when compared to normal contact lenses, custom color contact lenses are like a piece of art and if treated properly can last several years. The lenses will you with lasting entertainment whether you are a professional working in theatre and movies or just to wear on special occasions like Halloween.
