White contact lens products, also sometimes known as white out contact lenses, are very popular as a unique theatrical lens as well as for Halloween costumes and that really special look for an evening out.
White contact Lenses for an unique look :
Popular with those that enjoy a Gothic look these lenses really will make your eyes stand out regardless of where you may be.
White contact lens designs come in a variety of patterns as well as the complete white contact lens. Patterned white lenses can really highlight your look to match your costume or wardrobe.
The white contact lens, when placed in the eye, will completely cover your natural eye colour and leave the iris and pupil area completely white.
There is also the option to leave the pupil very dark black, but it may be shaped differently than a traditional pupil.
There are cat's eye shaped pupils, hugely expanded pupils with just a ring of white or a very tiny pupil with just a small circle of black. Other options may include geometric shapes around the dark pupil in black or red.
Some of the really unique looking white contact lens designs include the spider web designs, or the circular designs that seem to spiral in and out as you move and blink your eye. White with a black ring round the outside provides a dramatic look that goes well with a variety of different costumes and clothing options.
Precaution :
Wearing white contact lens products is very similar to wearing any other type of contact lenses. These cosmetic types of lenses are not always prescription which means that you can easily order them online or find them at your local store.
However, depending on the country from which you are ordering you may still be required to provide a prescription from a licensed eye care provider. This means that you may need to have an eye exam before ordering the lens, but this is really for your protection.
White contact lens products can cause the same type of discomfort to the eyes that regular contacts can, particularly if you are not used to wearing contacts. A good idea is to try out the lenses for a brief period of time and then gradually build up to the time that you want to be able to wear them with comfort.
A good wear schedule should be structured to wear the lenses for an hour or so the first day, two or more hours the second day and so on.
Most of these lenses are not daily wear disposables so you will have to clean and store the lenses correctly between uses.
To keep a white contact lens of any design safe and free from protein build up and bacteria it is important to clean the lenses using the recommended cleaning contact solution and follow all directions. Using the wrong type of solution may cause damage to the lenses or may change the colour of the lens, depending on the specific lens type and the cleaning solution used.
