Riddick Contact Lenses Are Mirrored Lenses With UV Protection
Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick are two movies that starred Vin Diesel. He was a convict who had the supernatural power of night vision and the contacts he wore were to emphasize these powers were mirrored. As a theatrical prop they make the eyes seem scary but they do much more than that. These lenses com in non-prescription lenses and are available in both silver and black. They have a mirrored finish to the surface like many UV sunglasses which allows you to see through them but everyone else sees only the lenses. These are useful in the sense that they help protect your eyes from UV rays of the sun.
 
These lenses are called Riddick contact lenses because they became popular because of the Vin Diesel movies. At first these were used for theatrical purposes only and were not sold to the public. With the demand so great for special FX contacts in the private sector, manufacturers began selling them to the public. Today they are used to complete a Halloween costume of simply to make the wearer’s eyes stand out. For this reason they are readily sold in novelty shops, at reputable eye care facilities and online. One online retailer that carries a large array of theatrical contact lenses is Lensmart. Care should be taken when purchasing them from a non-professional. You should make sure they are gas permeable and that they are fitted to your eyes.
The most common use for Riddick contact lenses is theatrical use, clubbing or to protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays that the sun emits. If you are purchasing your contacts from an online retailer or a novelty shop, you must ensure that they are fit to your eyes. This can be done by visiting your local eye care specialist and having your eyes assessed to ensure they are in the proper condition for contacts and that they are measured to get the proper fit. If they are not properly fit for your eyes, they can cause damage to any part of your eye and can be lost easily.
These contact lenses are not the only style of lenses that are available. There are other special FX lenses available to the public such as horror, scary, fun, crazy, wild and sclera lenses. These lenses are generally used for special effects for a Halloween costume such as the Hulk or a vampire costume. Movie directors use them for their special effects qualities in which to better portray their characters scary personalities. Pitch Black and the Chronicles of Riddick are two good examples of movie use of contact lenses. Other examples include horror movies. Lensmart carries many different types of these novelty lenses including mirrored lenses. All of these lenses should be cared for in the same manner as you would care for your corrective contact lenses. They should be stored in a cleansing solution and kept in a lens case so they do not get contaminated by lint and other impurities.
