Halloween novelty contact lenses are a great way to meet people because they are so unique that strangers and friends alike will give you compliments galore.Contact lenses were invented thirty years ago and Bausch & Lomb launched the original commercially available soft contact lens. For years, this traditional soft daily wear lens was the only type of soft contact lens offered. This lens ideally was meant to last between 6 and twelve months and required daily cleaning and weekly enzymatic cleaning.
Ten years after the first soft contact lens come on the market, extended contact lensess were released in the United States. However, it wasn't until 1991 that the first frequent-replacement contact lenses were sold. Frequent-replacement contacts are typically replaced every one to three months. Most cosmetic contact lenses last approximately three months, falling into this category.
Just one year later, in 1992, disposable contacts were introduced. These contacts were disposed of every two weeks or less, depending on the brand and individual use.
Colored contacts which are available for purchase to wear at Holloween time use what is termed an enhancement tint in the contact lens which covers the iris, but has a sheer center so a persons vision is not impaired. Other names for contact lenses which come in various colors and patters are: cosmetic contacts, designer contacts, special effects contacts, novelty and the newest style - the circle or "big eye" contact lens.
An enhancement tint is a dense but translucent (see-through) hue that is a little darker than a visibility tint. An enhancement tint will change the eye colour. {As the name implies, it's meant to enhance the existing color of your eyes.|The contact lenses with an enhancement tint is meant to bring out the color of your eyes.
For example, if you have blue eyes, these contact lenses will create a more intense color blue, based on which color of tint that you choose. As an example,, if you have green eyes, to make the color stand out more, you could use an enhancement tinted colored contact lens. Or if you have hazel eyes, you could use tinted contact lenses to bring out the blue, green or brown shades of color in your eyes. These types of tints are generally best for consumers who have pale colored eyes and choose to make their eye shade more intense.
When men and women think about coloured contact lenses they may not understand that color tints are deep, solid tints that will modify your eye color totally. If you have dark eyes, you'll need this type of color contact lens to transform your eye colour.
Designer color contacts (available without a prescription) come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, including: black, red, green, blue, violet, white, cat eye, white spider web and numerous other scary or sexy designs . The center of the lens, the piece that lies over the pupil, is clear so you can see.
Costume or theatrical contact lenses also fall into the category of opaque colour tints. Long used in the movies (examples are the Incredible Hulk and Twilight), these special-effect contact lenses are now widely available and can temporarily transform the you into a Halloween vampire, ghoul, witch, cat or perhaps turn you into Alice in Wonderland, a beautiful fairy or princess.
A new trend is the "Circle" contact lens (an oxymoron since contact lenses are already round!) Made popular in the United tates. by outrageous pop star Lady Gaga in her Bad Romance video, "circle" contact lenses seem to be larger because they are not just colored in areas that cover up the iris of the eye, but colored prominently in the extra-wide outer border of the lens. The result is the manifestation of a bigger, wider iris. Lady Gaga may well have heard of these "circle" contact lenses from Asian women, fans of the "big eye" look for a number of years now.
