EYE PROBLEMS

Usually, people who need contact lenses buy them from their eye doctor because they need some form of vision correction. Makers of custom contact lenses have taken the idea of these small wonders a step further, and now provide movie companies as well as every day fans with the option to buy their own custom contact lenses. Unlike their counterparts, these lenses are special and custom made, and can be purchased to order however you want them. Some are outrageous and come in styles such as an Orc eye from Lord of the Rings, the eye style from the movie Predator, alien eyes, or even contact lenses that are completely mirrored! These lenses are often much more expensive than regular lenses, and are usually only sold by the individual pair since they are custom ordered. Prices can range from $100 all the way up to $1,000 and perhaps more per pair depending on the order and the company making them. These custom contact lenses can change entire appearances and add a huge amount of impact to movie characters and play characters as well. For those with the extra money to spend, they make an excellent addition to your Halloween costume as well. Some people order custom contact lenses simply because they want to shock and excite people on a daily basis. Some custom contact lenses made today even have sports team logos on them! They are becoming more popular than ever with the newest and latest technology to make them easier to use and purchase.

Aside from just the theatrical style and wild contact lenses, many custom contact lenses are made to help people who suffer with an eye abnormality. Some peoples' irises are larger than they would like, and they can have custom contact lenses made so that their eyes look much more normal. These can be found through many different companies who specialize in making lenses to help those with eye issues. It's a good idea to get a referral from your doctor as to who offers quality and effective custom contact lenses. It is important to note that all contact lenses are considered “medical appliances”, and so they should be treated with respect and care. All contact lenses should be thoroughly cleaned and stored to avoid getting serious eye infections. In addition, never wear custom or theatrical contact lenses more then one day at a time, and never fall asleep with them in the eyes, as this can cause serious infections and damage. In addition, these types of lenses usually have a shelf life of no longer than two years, so be sure to throw them away after that point. Custom contact lenses can be a whole lot of fun and can make a really bold fashion statement, as long as you know how to take good care of both them and your eyes. Talk to your eye doctor if you are interested in these types of contact lenses, or if you have any more questions and he or she will be more than happy to assist you and provide you with in depth information on custom contact lenses.
