Crazy Contact Lenses

A short while ago it used to be only the special effects department of film companies that had access to the really cool range of lenses referred to as the Crazy Contact Lens collection. Think for example of Michael Jackson’s eyes at the end of his "Thriller" video. There are many other examples.

Now, thanks to recent advances in contact lens technology, crazy contact lenses are available to everyone, even those who don't need them to improve their vision. One of the most popular special effects lenses is the Crazy Contact Lenses series from CooperVision. These Crazy Contact Lenses come in a whole range of options. Here is a sampling available to you from the Crazy Eyes Contact Lens collection:

• White - a shiny white iris broken only by your jet-black pupil in the middle
  
• Blood Red - a fiendish and demonic red iris
  
• Wolf Red or Black - with a bright yellow splash on a black or red background
  
• Red or Black Spiral - put your friends into a trance with these hypnotic type eyes featuring an expanding red or black spiral
  
• Devil - a long black slashed pupil against a baxkground of red and yellow
  
• Cateye Yellow- featuring a cat-like long pupil on a spookie yellow background
  
• Fire - with leaping yellow flames surrounded by a blood-red perimeter
  
• Dollar Green - have great fun at your bank with these, featuring floating dollar signs on a background of bright green
  
• Reptile Green - featuring a long pupil on a background of jungle green. For that real reptillean look!

But always remember, whilst special effects contact lenses are cool to wear and fun, like normal prescription lenses, Crazy Contact Lenses are still medical devices and are considered as such by the FDA.

And like all contact lenses, Crazy Lenses can cause eye infections if not fitted correctly or cared for properly. That means you must see professional optician to have them prescribed and fitted. And this is the case whether you need vision correction or not.

Crazy Contact Lenses also need to be cleaned and disinfected just like other contact lenses. And it goes without saying that, as with all lenses, you must never share or swap costume contact lenses, including Crazy Contact Lenses, with anybody. Failing to heed this warning could potentially lead to serious eye infection, even blindness.

Special effect contact lenses such as the Crazy Contact Lenses series are as safe as any other contact lens so long as you follow the rules. Clean your lenses regularly as directed by your optician, and find out and rigidly adhere to the proper care regime for your special effect lenses.

Finally, never buy special effect lenses, including Crazy Contact Lenses, at any store that doesn't insist on a valid prescription from an eye care practitioner. Remember that wearing contact lenses that don't fit your eyes properly is dangerous and can cause serious vision problems, damage to your eyes and infections.

So treat your Crazy Contact Lenses with the care and respect you would any other prescription contact lens.
