Contact Lenses Longevity
A common question when purchasing contact lenses is how long do contact lenses last? Simply, it depends on the lens type that you have purchased. At Funky Lenses, you’ll find both daily and monthly contact lenses. These different longevity types mean that users can find a lens type that fits their needs without the hassle of consistently reordering or cleaning them after use if it isn’t required.
Daily wear contact lenses are a great option for those who require a single use from their contact lenses. If you are attending a special occasion, or maybe a one-day cosplay convention, a pair of daily-wear contact lenses will work out as a much more cost effective and convenient lens type for you. The one-day contact lenses are designed to be worn only once before they should be disposed of in the general waste; the Funky Lenses daily soft lenses are made from a lightweight material so that it does not interfere with the user's eye too much. The single use colored contact lenses are a low maintenance option for those who do not wish to store and clean their lenses.
Alternatively, should you require multiple uses from your contact lenses, we recommend our monthly or 30 day contact lenses. These lenses are a great option for those who might be attending multiple parties and events throughout the next month that require their colored lenses! Monthly colored contact lenses are designed to be worn safely every day for up to 8 consecutive hours throughout 30 days from the day that they are opened; after this period they should be disposed of. Multi-use lenses are a convenient option for those who seek more than one use from their lenses, however, to ensure they remain safe and fit for use, they should be cleaned and stored properly. For more information, check out our Safety Guides.
Contact Lens Measurements
Before purchasing contact lenses, whether prescription or not, having your correct optical measurements to hand will ensure safe and comfortable wear. It is easy to get your measurements; simply contact your optician and ask for these from your most recent check-up. It might be worth getting a new appointment if your measurements were not recently taken.
Our SFX contact lenses are available in a range of different measurements, so it is possible that a style you like may not be available in your sizing. When browsing for contact lenses, it is worth filtering by your correct measurements so that you can ensure the lenses you purchase will fit properly; this will include diameter and base curve. Choosing contact lenses that are a correct fit for your eyes is much more likely to stay in comfortably.
Special Effects and Style
It’s easy to get carried away by the appearance of your contact lenses, especially when choosing those that feature a unique design or colour. Many styles of special effects and character contact lenses feature a unique element; at Funky Lenses we stock UV coloured contact lenses, blind contacts, and more! Each of these styles of contact lenses creates a dramatic result that often becomes a focal point of the costume, however, these features might not be for everyone.
UV contact lenses, glowing contact lenses, right? Not quite. These contact lenses are not glow in the dark and do require a UV blacklight to activate. On each of the product pages for our coloured UV contact lenses, you will find this information to ensure you are aware that these do not glow in the dark upon purchasing. If you’re happy with this information, then the lenses might be perfect for you! Available in a range of vibrant colours and interesting designs such as cat eyes, the UV lenses are a great way to add a surprising and effective detail.
We also stock a great range of blind eye contacts which are a popular option for Halloween and scare characters. They are an effective way of enhancing a terrifying persona due to their no-pupil appearance. Whilst these lenses create a striking look, buyers should note that as these lenses do not feature a pupil hole, vision is significantly limited. As these contact lenses do not allow for clear vision, they should not be worn when driving. If you are planning to attend an event in your blind contact lenses, we recommend wearing a single blind lens in one eye and a different style in the other that offers full vision.
With all of this essential information, you should now be able to safely choose a pair of contact lenses to suit and meet your needs.
