Unique Colored Contact Lenses for Men
Some of the best colored contact lenses are the funky or out of this world lenses. Wear them for Halloween, or just to get a look no one else has.
Vampire: If you like the Goth, immortal look of vampires (the non-Twilight ones), then there are an amazing amount of vampire contact lenses available. Get the Vampire Red or White Out lenses for block red or white colors with a black pupil. If you are a movie buff, there are even specific vampires, whose eye colors you can emulate with these contact lenses. The vampires and lycans of the Underworld movie franchise have 3 color types to offer, based on characters from the movie: Victor, Lycan and Underworld Ring. For spookier, really weird colored contacts, check out the Lestat and Louis models from the movie Interview with the Vampire.
Rave or Extra Bright: In a club, or dimly lit disco, some colored contact lenses can shine or glow. For example, the Angelic and Ice Blue models are both blue colored lenses, in different shades, with this ethereal glow. The Rave line of colored contacts, comes in 4 colors: blue, yellow, pink and green. This line of lenses glow under a black light.
Black: Soft Lens Black Sclera are black colored contacts, that cover the entire eye! For a less weird effect, check out WildEyes Black Out and Soft Lens Black Out for a pure black iris and pupil. Soft Lens even has a Black Spiral model, which has a hypnotizing black effect. For the wild wolf within, Marietta Vision Wolf Eyes have a black pupil and ring, with a patchy yellow iris.
Plain Weird: Cat eyes anyone? Marietta Vision Cat Eyes give a feline look, with oval-shaped pupils, in red, white, banshee or purple colors. If you are fond of customizing, then opt for a pair of hand painted colored contacts. 2 other unique colors to check out are amethyst and violet. Freshlook Colorblends Amethyst and Cibavision Durasoft 3 Colorblends are two amethyst contacts. For violet, check out Clearly Colors Violet Venom and Impressions Color Violet.
When selecting these contact lenses, check out a color in both light and dark surroundings. Choose colors that naturally complement your skin and hair color. For example, blue contacts go well with most hair colors, but purple contacts rarely gel with most hair shades. Take someone along for a second opinion. Colored contact lenses should be cleaned and sanitized with proper lens cleaning products and stored appropriately. Do not share or swap contact lenses with anyone. Shared lenses can cause a number of eye infections and other vision problems. Non prescription colored contacts are not allowed. So even if you just want to change your eye color, you need a prescription from your doctor or optometrist, according to Federal and State law. Whether for fun or health reasons, contact lenses are medical devices and should be treated with caution and care.
