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.

Eye Jewelery

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.

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.

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:

Tell me that dragon eye contact lens isn’t scary!

Gothic Contact Lenses

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!

Cool Contact Lenses

Cool contact lenses are completely and utterly a matter of perception.  While some people will love Halloween contact lenses, others will want sharingan contact lenses.  Still others will want red, black, blue or white contact lenses.  Some people think gothic contact lenses are cool.  Other people think the Manson style contact lense are the coolest contact lenses ever made.  Personally I don’t think it really matters what I think, what is cool to you is perfect.  What I like shouldn’t influence your decision to buy contact lenses that I think are cool.  Personally I think that the crazy colored contacts are my favorite, but that’s my opinion and may or may not be cool to you.
You go out and buy cool contact lenses based on what you think is cool.  Don’t buy a set of cool contacts because all of your friends are wearing them, buy them because you like them and think they’re awesome.  I do show some lists of what is popular, but popular isn’t for everyone.  Forge your own path and create your own destiny!

Contact Lens to See Future

Anna Farmery wrote about the things that she wants to do before she dies.  While most of them are really far fetched, a few of them are pretty interesting.  Anna says, “Invent leadership contact lenses that see reality in one eye and the future in the other.”  While completely implausible, it begs the question, “Why aren’t we doing more?”  We’ve had contact lenses for 20 years and they’re relatively the same as they were 20 years ago.  A small, thin, plastic or glass cover for your eye.  Maybe it is time for a radical change in contact lenses!

Cheap Red Contact Lenses

While most people looking for colored contact lenses want blue contacts, there are a lot of people looking for red contact lenses.  Among those people who want red contact lenses, most of them want to save money and buy cheap red contact lenses online.  Since there are so many different places to buy contact lenses online, finding a place that sells red contact lenses is what you need to focus on.  Since cheap red contact lenses aren’t as popular as other colors of contacts, you might have some trouble finding a company or contact lens distributor that sells red lenses.

If you run into a wall and can’t find a company that will sell you red contact lenses, check with your doctor or optometrist.  There are many doctors who have special connections with contact lens companies and can get you a special pair of contact lenses.  Now, you have someone on the inside who can buy you cheap red contact lenses!
