Here is my list of the strangest and weirdest contact lenses ever made. Some are creepy, some are just plain weird while others will make you say, “Someone paid money for that?” and indeed they did. If you’re under 10, I would look away or else these might reappear in your dreams tonight. Now, on to the strangest and weirdest contact lenses!
Nike MaxSight contact lenses are very functional, but also very weird. Each one is designed for a different sport, this one is red and is designed for cyclists to reduce the road glare from the sun.

Zebra Contact Lenses have the look and pattern of a zebra. Strange for sure.

Hello Kitty has just as many fans as it does detractors. These contact lenses could be part of the revolt. Look closely, they’re kind of hard to see, but you can see the weird Hello Kitty icon.

Full black sclera contact lenses are the strangest (and creepiest) in my opinion. No matter what you say, you would squeal like a girl if someone popped out from under your bed with these black sclera contact lenses!

While not creepy, weird and strange however, people are starting to wear “Eye Jewelery” (or Eye Jewels). Yes, I know that it sounds like these diamond contact lenses, but it is much worse and looks very painful. I don’t know much about these so if you can give me some info, leave a comment.

The Eye Tattoo has to be one of my favorite strange and weird eye changes. Instead of wearing colored contact lenses just to make your eye color change, why not get your eye tattooed? That sounds much easier…

If you’re the lazy type, Stick on Eyes might be a better fit than contact lenses completely. These stick on eyes are just stickers that you put on your eyelids and then fall asleep. People will think you’re weird, and unless they’re completely blind, they’ll know they’re just stickers, and you’ll be running into walls.


That’s all I’ve got, what other types of strange contact lenses do you have for me? Send a picture or just post some info!

Non prescription contact lenses aren’t an issue for most people. A vast majority of the time contact lenses are to assist people with sight problems. This could be near or farsightedness, but the fact remains, a great portion of people who wear contact lenses have a prescription from their doctor. What about people who want a pair non-prescription contact lenses?
Non Prescription contact lenses are for people who are looking for either colored contact lenses, or are looking to do something unique like buy halloween contact lenses. If that is you, a contact lens with no prescription might work.
If you’re one of those people who want contact lenses for the look, and not the prescription, non prescription contact lenses are definitely the way you want to go. Sometimes you might actually need a prescription in order to be able to buy contact lenses, but the prescription has no “power” so the contact lenses can just be a straight clear lens (or colored, but won’t help with vision).
Those types of contact lenses are still considered prescription lenses, but in reality they don’t do what a contact lens does for people who has astigmatism or need a slight vision enhancement.

While most people spend all of their time focused on their contact lenses, they’re energy and money are also spent reseraching these contact lenses. Most people tend to ignore the fact that contact lens solution is also as important as choosing the right contact lenses.
Each contact lens solution is designed for a purpose. Some are very specific, some are general. If you have a special eye condition, you might want to think about researching the type of contact lens solution you buy before settling on anything that Wal-Mart has on sale. All of this solution research can be done online. Another great reason for buying contact lens solution online is the plethora of reviews. There are thousands of people who have reviewed contact lens solutions online and you can easily find them by searching Google or any other search engine.
