What are Mirror Tinted Contact Lenses?

You can find contact lenses in every color imaginable. What was once solely for vision correction is now being used to great cosmetic effect by thousands of people. Changing your eye color is just a simple matter of putting in a set of contact lenses. You need a prescription, but don’t worry; you can get one even if you don’t need vision correction.

One of the funkiest looks out there today is mirrored contact lenses. They can make your eyes appear silver. It’s a really out there look that works great for Halloween or the Goth/industrial scene.

Mirrored contacts remove the pupil definition leaving you with a flat silvery reflective futuristic look. Think Vin Diesel in the movie Pitch Black.

Believe it or not though mirrored lenses do have a practical use! If you are a fisher or athlete then mirrored lenses can help your vision. They can be tinted in such a way that certain colors pop out much more vividly such as the white of a baseball or green of a tennis ball.

The mirror finish is an intrinsic part of the contact lens. The lenses are soft and pliable. Plus you never have to worry about scratching the mirror coating of the lens.

You care for mirror tinted contact lenses just like you would any other. They just need a quick rinse in saline solution, a little bit of daily cleaner and a storage case. With proper care they can last a long time.

So if you are shopping around for a really unique look, the next time you visit the optometrist ask about mirrored contacts. They will probably need to be special ordered but if you get lucky you may be able to score a free sample. Just try them on and take a look in the mirror. It’ll be a great effect to see yourself reflected in your new mirrored lenses.
