A full black sclera contact lens is shiny and covers the entire eye (except the pupil, which means you can still see through them). Full black sclera contact lenses cover the white part of your eye, below your eye lids at the top and bottom. This renders your eye completely black to anyone looking into them. Check out our full black sclera contacts available in prescription (if necessary) at low prices!

Jagged Teeth contact lenses are full sclera contacts that means they cover the full eye. While Jagged Teeth Contacts are harder to get into your eye (since they are so big), once they are in, there is nothing that compares.

Take a look at this picture of Jagged Teeth Contact Lenses:

Whilst cleaning and storing your contact lenses is paramount to reducing the likelihood of any bacteria developing, insert and removing your contact lenses correctly also ensures that the risk of any problems occurring is reduced.

Inserting Your Contact Lenses

1. Ensure your hands are clean and free from any dirt of dust by washing them under warm, soapy water
2. As it is best to develop a routine, always start with your right eye
3. Place the lens on the middle finger of your right hand, with the concave side facing up
4. Using two fingers on your let hand, open your top eye lid
5. Pulling the lower eye lid down with a spare finger on your right eye, begin to place the contact lens onto the eye centre. Being in front of a mirror will generally help this process
6. Once the contact lens is on the eye, allow your top eye lid to fall over your eye, followed by your bottom eye lid
7. The contact lens should now be in place and feel comfortable. If not, remove the contact lens and start the process again
8. Repeat and follow the above steps for your left eye
9. Rinse out your contact lens case and allow to dry

Removing Your Contact Lenses
1. Once again, ensure your hands are clean by washing them with warm, soapy water
2. Facing a mirror, maneuver your head so your right eye is looking towards the centre of your face
3. Opening your eyes wide, ensure that both your eye lids are not touching the contact lens
4. Press and pull the corner of your eye, so your eye lids become tight
5. Blink your eyes and the contact lens will come out
6. To begin with, this procedure can be a little difficult to get to grips with. If the contact lens fails to fall out of your eye, repeat the process from step 2
7. Rinse and clean the contact lens
8. Store in it’s disinfected case
9. Repeat and follow the procedure for your left eye

If you take proper care of your contact lenses, you can ensure the best possible experience when wearing your contact lenses.

• Only wear your contact lenses for the allotted time – contact lenses have come on leaps and bounds over the past 50 years and they are available in many different styles, types and wearable lengths. Always ensure you wear your contact lenses for the recommended time. For example, if you have daily disposable contact lenses, make sure you take them out after the day has ended. Similarly, if you have contact lenses that can be worn for two weeks, don’t be tempted to wear them for another week – it will cause a variety of problems and may result in your vision deteriorating.

• Wash them properly and as recommended – There are some exceptions, for example, extended use contact lenses, but most contact lenses needed to be cleaned daily. Always ensure you use a high quality cleaner and that your contact lenses are never stored or worn after they have been dropped, without washing them first.

• Store your contact lenses in a clean environment – as well as your contact lenses, the case which they are stored in must also be kept extremely clean to ensure no bacteria develops and is then transferred onto the contact lens. Keep your contact lens case clean by using a daily soaking solution that keeps the case and contact lenses both fresh and disinfected.

Following the above three points should ensure a safe and clean environment for your contact lenses, reducing any risk of bacteria or infection developing.

Daniel Palanker, a Stanford University expert on retinal implants argues a very interesting point. Palanker explained that most people’s eyes cannot focus properly or effectively on anything closer than 25 cm and no matter how much technology is produced and developed, as it’s an issue with the actual eye and not technology, it could be a major problem. Because of this, he is questioning many people’s future contact lens ideas, explaining that the quality of image would be so poor it would be somewhat pointless in creating the contact lens.

Of course, as with most stumbling blocks, there are ways and means round it. One Simon Fraser University professor has replied to Palanker’s theory, explaining that the 25 cm problem is only an issue when light enters the eye at the ‘normal’ angle. However, if it could be adjusted so it entered at a different angle, there is a very high likelihood that this issue could be solved.

Even if Palanker was correct and there was no way around the issue, that doesn’t mean these contact lenses cannot be put to good use elsewhere. For example, the quality of image isn’t a factor when creating contact lenses for medical reasons other than correcting the wearer’s vision – such as sending data on people’s health back to their GP via the contact lens or, as mentioned previously, administering regular dosages of medicine.
