In the movie Pitch Black, actor Vin Diesel wore a pair of pitch black mirrored contact lenses that were, for a lack of better words, cool beyond words. These contact lenses are, thankfully, now available on the market, and you can buy your own pair to jazz up or add to the scary factor of your next Halloween costume. They are a recent contact lens invention and are often used for special movie effects where the character has inhuman qualities that need to show up in the actors’ eyes. Pitch black mirrored contact lenses are almost completely opaque, and like the object that these contact lenses are named after, they reflect images of everything the wearer sees, which makes for a slightly chilling effect that is just eerie enough to be cool.
However, finding your own pitch black mirrored contact lenses can be a little difficult, especially when the biggest names in special effects contact lenses do not produce them. There are very few online stores that sell pitch black mirrored contact lenses, and you will be extremely lucky if you saw a listing that will fit your budget and your preferences for delivery schedule.
As with other types of contact lenses, always consult with your eye doctor before purchasing and wearing them. Also, you might be pleased to find out that your local eye doctor can order these pitch black mirrored contact lenses for you from his or her commercial supplier. They will be quite expensive, so make sure that you really want them before shelling out money for these contact lenses.
Pitch black mirrored contact lenses will not be so difficult to care for. You will have to follow care instructions prescribed for regular special effects contact lenses. However, fingerprints might be unattractive to look at on the mirrored surface, so you might want to put on rubber gloves before wearing them.
