Red contacts are fun to wear. Some enjoy them year round, but they see a spike in popularity come Halloween time. There are so many costumes that red contacts would enhance, it is no wonder. You could also see why many would enjoy them year round, from time to time, or even every day. They are an attention getter.
There are two basic types of red contacts. The first type is the one that blends with the color of your eyes. It will give red tones to your existing eye color, and look a little more natural. The bottom picture on the right shows this kind of blended look. If your eyes are blue, it might come out slightly purple, and if your eyes are brown, it will come out like orange honey. Some prefer this effect because it looks more natural, where others are looking for more of a statement.
The other kind of red contacts will be a solid color with a clear opening in the middle. The solid color will completely cover your existing eye color and the clear opening in the middle will allow your pupil to continue to see. The risk with the solid color is with movement. Movement is not typical with a contact lens, but if it shifts, the colored part of the lens will cover your pupil and you will not be able to see.
If you are getting the contacts for a party or Halloween, make sure that they are soft contacts. Hard contacts can take weeks for your eyes to adjust to. If you put them in on the night of the party, you will have very sore eyes the next day. Soft contacts take no time for your eyes to adjust to, and can be popped in on a whim.
Prescription red contacts are available, but they will be more difficult to find. I recommend against getting them on line if you are looking for a prescription. It will be difficult to judge how reputable a website or company is on line. These are your eyes that we’re talking about, and you don’t want to put them at risk with a bad prescription, or, more commonly, contacts that are made for one time use being sold as daily contacts. Your eye doctor can have them special ordered for you at no extra charge.
