Strangest (and Weirdest) Contact Lenses Ever Made

Brandon — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:57:25 +0000

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

LensMan — Fri, 04 Apr 2008 18:39:27 +0000

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.

Contact Lens Solution Ideas

LensMan — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:13:09 +0000

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.

Red Eye Contacts

LensMan — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 18:20:32 +0000

The most common use for the term “red eye” is an overnight or late night plane flight. However, when dealing with contact lenses, red eye contacts are contacts that make your eye red.

Here is a red eye contact picture.

As you can see, the eye is completely red except for the pupil. This picture is of blood red eye contacts which are some of the best selling colored contact lenses on the market today.

If you’re looking for something unique, check out red eye contacts and freak out all of your friends!

Gothic Contact Lenses

LensMan — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:18:28 +0000

Gothic contact lenses were made popular by these Manson contact lenses. After Marilyn Manson began to lose popularity, other gothic contact lens wearing superstars entered the stage and made a variety of different types and styles of contact lenses popular.

Since those other music artists (celebrities wearing contacts) and celebrities started wearing contact lenses, the gothic scene also rose in popularity by wearing many different types of contact lenses. Gothic contact lenses don’t have a particular color scheme, but gothic contacts are usually black and white, sometimes red and rarely blue, yellow, and green.

Black gothic contact lenses and white gothic contact lenses have been popular for a long time and seem to be increasing in popularity and I expect goth contact lenses to gain popularity until goth kids stop being gothic.

Tomorrow we’ll look at Halloween gothic contact lenses and I have a great picture to show you in that post as well!

Nike Contact Lenses

LensMan — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:55:06 +0000

While it may seem strange, we’ve had more than one customer contact us about Nike contact lenses. The reason people are looking for Nike contact lenses is because Nike makes a “Max Sight” contact lens. These contact lenses are generally known as Nike contacts or Nike MaxSight contacts, but are called just about everything. Check out their official page here and here.

These contacts utilize new technology that filters out certain colors of UV light resulting in better performance depending on your sport. For golfers the contact lenses filter out the red and green light allowing the golf ball to reflect it’s natural blue light. This results in you being able to see the ball on the ground easily.

For those who enjoy mountain biking, the MaxSight contact lenses allow you to see shadows clearly since you know how important it is when you’re coming around a corner and see a rock or hole.

For bicyclists the Nike contact lenses filter out reflections caused by the sun hitting the hot pavement. They also have a red glow which relaxes your eye and lets them focus for longer periods of time.

For every sport Nike offers auto tinting sunglasses (chromatic sunglasses) that provide the same effect. Look for the Nike MaxSight contact lenses in a store or optometrist near you!

You can read more about these great Nike contact lenses at Al Conway’s website. He is going to give his review after he’s worn them for a short while.

Bausch and Lomb also has some more information about the price of Nike MaxSight contact lenses at their website.

Can Children Use Contact Lenses?

LensMan — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 17:23:47 +0000

Shonda wrote, “My child (probably both kids soon) needs glasses and has accidentally broken two pair of glasses. Can she switch to contact lenses instead of us continuing to buy new glasses?”

Thanks for the question Shonda! Regarding your child, before you do anything, make sure she isn’t breaking the glasses on purpose. Wearing glasses can be a traumatic experience for children. Other kids make fun of them and they just don’t like it.

If you still want to have your kids wear contact lenses, most optometrists allow it if the kid is older than 8 years old. Any younger and getting the contacts into the eye would be nearly impossible because of the size of the contact and the child.

As the child gets older (12 years old and older), you should have no trouble getting contact lenses. Below that and you might have to find a doctor that is willing to prescribe contact lenses. Children normally prefer wearing contact lenses when they realize the other option is to wear glasses.

Children wearing contacts really comes down to the individual child. You know your child better than anyone, is he or she ready to wear contact lenses?
