The world is your oyster when it comes to fashioning a pair of contact lenses. If you are into music, you could have little musical notes hand painted on, or maybe a treble clef? You love animals, so you could have cats eyes (these are ever so popular, especially at festivals!). You like the outdoors and hiking, so why not have a tree painted on or a mountain range? Your options are limitless!

A popular design in America is the good old stars and stripes flag. Not sure how many people would want the English Union Jack flag painted on, not unless they were English football supporters! The Olympics might even produce an extra sale or two of Union Jack contact lenses! It takes all sorts!

The hand painted designer lenses can cost serious money but CIBA Vision’s range of “Wild Eyes” special effects lenses cost around £30 per lens and can be ordered here on the Lens Catalogue web site.

The slightly more normal ranges of coloured contact lenses can be found through our online stockists Vision Direct. Browse to your heart’s content till you find ‘the one’.
