"Crazy" and "Contact Lenses" : Together, They're a Blast

It's almost Halloween, and you still can't decide what kind of costume you want to wear to the party this year. You're looking in the mirror as you insert your contact lenses, trying to think of a crazy idea to really "wow" your friends this Halloween. With your contacts in place, you're putting away your lens case, while you stretch your imagination to come up with something that's "extreme" crazy for the party. Wake up! The answer is right in front of your eyes. "Crazy"? "Contact Lenses"? That's it! - Crazy Contact Lenses!

Crazy contact lenses, also known as Special Effects lenses (or Special FX), can open up a whole world of possibilities for your Halloween creativity. Best of all, it's such a wild idea that most of your friends won't think of it, and you'll have the chance to be the only one to show up for the Halloween party with spacey eyes that people just can't stop talking about.

There's even a brand name called "CrazyLenses", which is manufactured by CibaVision and can be very cheap. They carry designs that are fantastic for Halloween, as well as Marci Gras and other celebrations. Choices include unique styles like "Red Spiral", "Fire", "Stars & Stripes" and even NFL football team logos. Another well-known company, CibaVision, offers even more cheap choices through its "WildEyes" line of contacts, including designs like "Black- Out", "Cat Eye", "Alien" and "Glow-in-the-Dark".

A lot of famous celebrities have jumped on the crazy contact lens bandwagon. Actors use Special FX contacts all the time to add to their on-stage characters in shows and movies like Battledome, Godzilla, Sleepstalker, and The Young & the Restless. Crazy contact lenses have been sported by famous names like Shaquille O'Neal, LL Cool J, and Demi Moore.

You don't have to look too far for crazy contact lenses. As a matter of fact, you can probably order most of these through the same sources you use for ordering your regular contacts. Just be advised that you want to be careful to order from a reputable company, and you will probably want to have them properly fitted by your doctor, to avoid eye abrasion or infection.

The rules for safety with crazy contact lenses are pretty much the same as for standard contact lenses. Even if you get home pretty late from your Halloween party, you'll definitely want to remove, clean and store your lenses before you go to sleep. Just because you may wear your crazy contacts only on certain occasions, doesn't mean there's any less reason to be safe when it comes to your eyes.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't waste anymore time trying to come up with a Halloween costume to scare your friends. Run out and grab yourself a pair of crazy contact lenses. You'll have a costume that will be hard to beat, and you'll have fun creating one of the craziest Halloweens ever.
