Strangest (and Weirdest) Contact Lenses Ever Made

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!

Cooper Vision Contact Lenses

While Cooper Vision’s website is downright embarrassing, their contact lenses are nothing to laugh about. Cooper Vision is the manufacturer of a few really popular brands of contact lenses such as Biomedics, Frequency, and Hydrasoft.

Biomedics

The Biomedics line of contact lenses is a two week, clinically proven lens that helps fight astigmatism and spherical aberrations. The Biomedics Toric is a soft lens for astigmatic patients while the Biomedics 55 focuses light to help with vision.

Cooper Vision History

Founded in 1979 and based in Irvine, California, CooperVision has company facilities all over the world. Many of the CooperCompanies family of companies also operate in California, but manufacturer all over the world.

Black Sclera Contact Lenses

Black sclera contact lenses are a strange contact lens that you must see to believe.  These black scleral contact lenses are called “full sclera” or “scleral”.  Both mean they cover the entire eye, including the white around the pupil that is normally not covered by a contact lens.  These colored contact lenses are not for the faint of heart!

Not only does this provide a very strange effect, they are also very expensive and instantly recognizable, especially in black.  While some manufacturers do make other colors of sclera contact lenses, the black scleral’s are by far the best selling and most popular full scleral covering contact lenses.

If you’ve never seen the full black sclera contact lenses I have a picture.  Keep in mind, that these sclera lenses are extremely expensive and difficult to get into your eye.  If you’ve never put contact lenses in your eyes before, these aren’t the best place to start.  These contact lenses are great for a Gothic Halloween costume.  Here are some black sclera contact lens pictures.

We have a limited supply of black sclera contact lenses for sale. You can buy them here.

Very creepy!

Dragon Eye Contact Lenses

You may know of the eye of the Tiger, but the Eye of the Dragon is even better.  This Dragon Eye contact lens (dragon eye pictures) is a full sclera covering contact lens that has a neon green and dark green outside that looks like the scales of a dragon or a lizard.   The inside has a black cat eye type pupil with orange and black speckles like a dragon egg.

If you want to buy the Dragon Eye contact lenses, they’re not cheap.  They’re particularly not inexpensive because they are usually hand painted and they are full sclera contact lenses.  If you’ve never used contact lenses, Dragon Eyes are probably not for you since getting a full scleral contact lens into your eye is very difficult. Currently we have the Dragon Eye Contacts priced at $219.99.

Stick with the Wild Eye contact lenses or even the Alien Eye Contact Lenses would be great and easy to get into your eye.

So here is the picture of the Dragon Eye contact lens that I promised:

Dragon Eye Contact Lenses are one of the most unique and desirable contact lenses made. These full sclera dragon eye contacts are usually out of stock, but we have them in stock currently (until supplies run out). As you can see from the picture, Dragon Eye contacts look like the scales of a dragon with a single black vertical pupil. Grab a pair of these Dragon Eye contacts before they’re sold out!

Price: $214.99
