Custom color contact lenses come in two types, prosthetic and special effects contact lenses. They can be manufactured to hide an eye defect or just to simply hide an eye injury and also to be used as special effects in the world of theatre and movies. In this article, we will try to discuss both.

Prosthetic Custom Color Contact Lenses

Prosthetic contact lenses are usually hand painted and their main purpose is to usually match a “normal” eye that has been damaged. It is amazing what can be done nowadays as people often cannot distinguish between the fake or normal eye as they are unbelievably close to the natural thing.

Custom made soft contact lenses are manufactured with materials that are special to allow for very comfortable wear. They are also made so that they will easily bond to the multi-layered pigments that are used to give depth and definition that are very close to the real deal.

As a result of being one of a kind, custom made prosthetic contact lenses are very expensive and can even cost up to a few thousands of dollars. Due to their uniqueness, manufactures are often reluctant to offer any kind of refund as they are only suited to the individual that they were manufactured for.

You must make an appointment for a thorough examination with any of the many companies that manufacture these lenses, prior to making your purchase. During this examination, you will be color matched, measured, fitted and any special needs will be attended to.

Prosthetic lenses require regular maintenance as with any other contact lens. Lenses last one to two years if cared for properly. Custom lenses can be made to correct most vision problems except for astigmatism.

Custom Made Special Effects Color Contact Lenses

Special effects custom color contact lenses have been used in movies and theatrical production for many years before they were available to the general public. If you search the Internet, you will be able to many online stores that offer these lenses for sale.

As with any contact lenses, you should see your local eye doctor or specialist before ordering or buying them. Special effects contact lenses also known as crazy contact lenses can be used purely as special effects lenses and/or to correct vision problems.

Every pair of lenses is custom made for the buyer and can come in such varieties as bloody or hemorrhaged eyes, aged eyes, cataracts, blind effects, and mirrored eyes.

It is fair to say that custom color contact lenses are not cheap when compared to your normal contacts and some be treated with the care that they deserve if you want them to last for several years. Do this, and you will be able to enjoy them both professionally or just for fun.
