Blue costume contact lenses transform your regular eye color into a beautiful piece of your body.  Get rid of your brown eyes and go for a bright blue look.  If you don’t want to shock people with such a dramatic change, you can gradually change your eye color from any color to blue with the use of blue costume style contact lenses.

If you’re a stage performer you know that you wear a lot of makeup.  You need a lot of makeup so it can actually be seen from the audience.  The same goes for your eyes.  If you want people in the audience to see your blue eyes, then you need blue costume contact lenses, even if you already have blue eyes.

For many people, a costume is not finished until you have contact lenses.  If you’re costume is blue, then naturally you’d want some blue contact lenses.  Blue costume contact lenses are generally used with super hero costumes such as Superwoman and Superman.

Other uses for your blue contact lenses could be a great Halloween costume that is heavily blue.  I would recommend using blue costume contacts for someone dressing up as the Blue Man Group or even as a blueberry.

At my first visit to InfoMean blog, I found something that immediately caught my eye.  They posted a great article about contact lens prescriptions and how to understand them.

One of the biggest misunderstandings explained my Mike Schwartz in this article was the difference between vision correcting contact lenses, and contact lenses that still required a prescription, but aren’t vision correcting.  This is typically how must people get a prescription for cheap halloween contacts and then use that prescription to buy cheap contact lenses and solution.

The two types of contact lenses are marketed and talked about by Schwartz as traditional and cosmetic.  This is a great way to remember when you are talking to your eye doctor.

Is Lasik eye surgery right for you?  Have you given this much thought?  If you’re like the millions of other people who wear contact lenses, you probably have.  And if you’ve given it much thought, you realize that this is a surgery, an elective surgery.  Generally elective surgeries are associated with cosmetic surgeries, but this one is different.

If you could get Lasik eye surgery done tomorrow and never have to wear contacts again, would you?  Post a comment and let me know!

When wearing your cosmetic contact lenses, there are a millions things you’ll want to keep in mind.  Most of these issues should be discussed with your doctor.  Here is a great list of things you want to keep in mind this halloween when wearing your contact lenses.

BadDadRadio.com says, “Cosmetic contact lenses can be make your teens’ Halloween costume extra special. However, both the American Academy of Ophthalmology and American Optometric Association advise consulting an eye care professional first.”   This is great advice because contact lenses without a prescription are illegal in the United States for good reason, they’re dangerous and eye infections are no fun, especially cornea infections.

Google-Sina.com has an article talking about Ohio possibly banning the sale of cosmetic contact lenses.  This is bad news for optometrists who make their living with cosmetic contact lenses and also for Halloween costumes.  The article says, “Improper care and ill-fitting contact lenses may result in corneal ulcers and/or infections that can lead to blindness…”  Ouch!

While not a blog, the Federal Trade Commission warned 15 cosmetic lens marketers saying, “Under the FTC’s Contact Lens Rule, sellers of both corrective and non-corrective cosmetic contact lenses must have a copy of a valid contact lens prescription or verify it with the prescriber before dispensing contact lenses to consumers. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties of up to $11,000 per violation.”  Wow, $11,000 for selling colored contact lenses without a prescription.  That is huge when contact lenses only profit about $40 per eye for each sale.

MyDisguises.com talks about your doctor playing a vital part in setting up your Halloween costume.  Especially since you’ll need to see him to get a halloween contact lens set.  MyDisguises.com says, “If you’re going to play a classic role this Halloween, you’re going to have to consult an eye doctor as to whether costume contacts are right for you.”

That’s it for the cosmetic contact lens warnings.  Now go and have a safe and fun Halloween!

Ideal Health and Fitness has an article detailing how and why your contact lens could cause a corneal infection, one of the worst kinds and most difficult to treat.

IHF says the following, “Complications can arise through over use and over wearing along with sloppy hygiene and awkward fit. If you are using contacts for vision correcting purposes then you will have been to your doctor for analysis before getting a prescription to buy them.”

Complications are difficult to treat.  Make sure that your contacts come from a reputable source and are prescribed by your doctor.

Many people, while wearing glasses have issues seeing out of the corner of their eyes.  The reason for this is because the glasses don’t cover that part of the eye.  When wearing glasses you have a very small circle that you can see correctly out of.  When you start wearing contact lenses, your field of correct vision is 100%.  Many times, people remark that they are now seeing clearly no matter which direction they look.  They’ll also notice that they don’t have to turn their head as often because they can just look sideways with their eye instead.

This change often helps people with neck problems because they don’t have to turn side to side all day.  Instead they can retrain themselves to look with their eyes instead of their necks.  While this isn’t an article from a doctor, you should always consult your doctor with any questions related to contact lenses, don’t rely on what you read online.

Sparkling blue eyes can be yours, all it takes is a nice pair of colored contact lenses. For you to achieve the beautiful blue eyes you see on so many people, get a prescription, and order some blue contact lenses. If you have dark colored eyes (brown, dark brown especially) you want to make sure that the contact lenses aren’t designed for people with already blue eyes. You might be better off trying to find some dark blue contact lenses, a blue like navy blue or a dark royal blue should work for your darker colored eyes.

If your eyes are already blue, but just not as beautiful as you would like, any color of blue contact lenses should be just what the doctor ordered, literally!
