One of the most popular special effects contact lenses at Halloween and at costume parties are vampire contact lenses. They are also very effective for use with stage costumes, so if acting is your thing, they could make a very effective addition to your thespian wardrobe. There again, if you simply want to scare off unwanted door to door salesmen, then vampire contact lenses can also be very effective, although it has to be said that many door to door salesmen are vampiric themselves, so may not be taken in.

Vampire contact lenses can be used by anybody whether they need vision correction or not, but equally, if you want lenses with vision correction, then the special effects lenses that you buy over the counter will not help you. They will not be prescription lenses, so if you suffer from astigmatism or any similar optical complaint, these lenses will not help correct your vision.

The manufacture of vampire contact lenses is different to that of conventional coloured contacts, in that they are not tinted, but printed. The effect required with vampire contact lenses is much different to that of a simple colour change. That being said, the ultimate effect of these special effects lenses can be quite stunning.

I will be preaching to the converted when I talk about the cleaning and hygiene surrounding the use of contact lenses, when I talk about people who wear contact lenses on a daily basis. Those who have not worn contact lenses before, or have not worn them for a long time should seek the advice of an eye acre professional first. You should get your eyes checked routinely anyway, and it wouldn't hurt to ask about the suitability of your eyes to wearing contact lenses. You also need to be aware of how to clean and look after your contact lenses as well as the strict hygiene you should employ when handling your lenses.

Good hygiene is essential for contact lens wearers, and those wearing cosmetic lenses will be no different. If you follow the proper guidelines for contact lens care, you will prevent infection and damage to the eye. Always make sure that your hands are clean before inserting or removing the lenses, always clean the lenses before storing them, and never share your lenses with anyone else. Equally, never borrow anyone else's lenses either. Eye infections can be very serious, and two sure ways to catch an infection are lack of hygiene and sharing lenses.

As a final word of caution, remember that when you are at a function or a party, keep an eye out for any other party goer's wearing vampire contact lenses. Pay particular attention when they take their lenses out. If for any reason, their eyes look the same with the lenses out as the lenses in, turn round and run like crazy!
