Avatar, the modern epic directed by James Cameron, is undoubtedly one of the best films of the decade. This film introduced to mainstream consciousness the Na’vi, which are blue creatures that inhabit this alternate world. Like the mystical creatures of The Lord of the Rings and the witches and wizards of Harry Potter, the Na’vi of Avatar are fast becoming one of the most popular Halloween costume options for many people.
Aside from stocking up on blue body paint and braided hair, one of the most important elements of the Na’vi costume is the Avatar contact lenses. There are plenty of colored contact lenses out there that you can use as your Avatar contact lenses—you will just have to make sure that the color is very near the yellowish green tinge characteristic to the creatures of Na’vi. Just go to your search engine of your choice and type in “Avatar contact lenses.” You will find a lot of yields out there, but the ones that are more opaque and larger than the common lenses will serve your purpose well.
Avatar contact lenses do not need to be expensive, especially if you are just going to use them for one time. However, you will need to make sure that your Avatar contact lenses are of good quality. Contact lenses that are sloppily designed, manufactured, and painted can hurt your eyes and even permanently damage your cornea. Once your cornea has sustained even the slightest of scratches, your eyesight might suffer permanently. Of course, you do not want to compromise your eyesight for cheap Avatar contact lenses, so make sure that you choose a good quality pair.
Make sure that you will not be wearing your Avatar contact lenses for more than six hours to ensure that oxygen will flow to the surface of your eyes.
