Crazy Contact Lenses

Crazy Contact Lenses or Theatrical Contact Lenses are a type of cosmetic contact lens that is used primarily in the entertainment industry to make the eye appear unusual or unnatural in appearance. The most likely time for you to consider special effect lenses is Halloween. You can use these novelty contact lenses to enhance your costume choice.

Color Contact Lenses

Colored Lenses are regular spherical contacts that have a special color layer within the lens. This unique color layer allows anyone to change or enhance their eye color. ACUVUE 2 COLOURS are available in 10 different shades, three specifically for light eyes (Acuvue 2 Colours Enhancers), and 7 more for both light and dark eyes (Acuvue 2 Colours), Freshlook Colorblends from CIBA provide a unique 3-in-1 technology, blending three colors into one to create the subtle, natural depth of beautiful eyes.

Contact Lenses for Presbyopia

Bifocal Contact Lenses are used to correct presbyopia (inability to focus sharply for near vision related to aging). Acuvue Bifocal
are a comfortable, effective alternative to wearing glasses (or regular contact lenses with special glasses for reading).

Contact Lenses for Astigmatism

These Toric Lenses correct astigmatism by compensating for the shape of the eye. Astigmatism is a vision condition that occurs when surfaces of the eye, such as the cornea, have an oval shape. This shape prevents light from focusing properly on the back of the eye, the retina. People with astigmatism will usually have blurred vision, and in some cases may also experience headaches, eyestrain, or fatigue. Acuvue Advance for Astigmatism, Acuvue Toric give you crisp, steady vision and comfort all day long.
