black contact lens.
July 18th, 2008 | by admin |Black contact lenses are a special type of theatrical contact lens that are extremely dark in color. One of several types of theatrical or special effects contact lenses available, black contact lenses are very popular. Vision-wise, these types of contact lenses will vary. The most commonly seen style makes the iris, or colored part of the eye, completely disappear. Since they have to cover most of the eye, they tend to be much larger than contacts that cover just the iris. While the regular black contact lens fit in the eye like any other contact lens, the sclera lenses are larger and tend to be more uncomfortable. If one wants to create the most dramatic effect, sclera black contacts are a better choice over those that cover just the iris. Costume contact lenses are generally available for purchase wherever colored contact lenses are sold. Individuals who do not have Aniridia can achieve black eyes through black contact lenses. Because black contact lenses are not a commonly purchased item, optometrists/opticians may need to order them, so you should allow time for them to be ordered and received if you choose to buy through an office. The first types of black contacts are those designed to cover just the iris. Black contact lenses come in more than one style. Some are opaque, so that even the pupil does not show through, while others only cover the iris. Some offer corrective vision, just like normal contact lenses. Black contact lenses vary from simply making the colored part of the eye disappear to making your eyes appear completely alien. The second types of black contacts are those that cover the iris, the pupil and the sclera. These are known as sclera lenses. The two types of black contact lenses available are those that cover just the iris and those that cover the iris, pupil and sclera.
