If your eyes look like you just came back from Dune, you can be sure that your appearance won't go unnoticed.What are my choices?There are many costume lenses on the market; the most popular brands are Crazy Lenses, by Cooper Vision, and Wild Eyes, by CibaVision. Both Crazy Lenses and WildEyes offer bright, exciting designs. Their lenses are also comfortable and affordable.If you type "costume contact lenses" into a Google or Yahoo search, many different collections will show up. Some of them offer a great look for a reasonable price. However, you should always bear in mind that most paints are toxic; so some of the lenses on offer might seem beautiful, but the could also irritate your eyes.

It is always best to go with costume contacts produced by major contact lens manufacturers.And for a particularly magnificent effect, you can get scleral contacts. Unlike ordinary color contact lenses, sclerals cover not only the colored part of your eye, but the entire visible portion of your eye. Sclerals create a knock-out effect. The only draw back with scleral contacts is that they are awfully expensive. You can also get custom-made costume lenses.

This way, you can be sure that nobody would have eyes like yours, and you can have any design imaginable.You can see pictures and reviews of different costume contact lens collections at www.1-contact-lenses-consumer-guide.com/costume-contact-lenses.htmlDo I need a prescription for costume contact lenses?Most brand name costume contacts come in Plano (no vision correction) as well as with corrective powers. And whether or not you need visual correction, you should ask your eye doctor to fit costume lenses for you. Even if you have perfect vision, it is best to see an optometrist first.Can I see while wearing theatrical contacts?Yes, you can. Even though the lens is completely opaque, its center is clear so you can see. The only exceptions are white-out contacts, which create the effect of blind eyes.

In this case, the entire lens is fully opaque so, unless you want to find out how it is to be blind, you should wear a white-out contact lens in one eye only.Are costume contacts safe?There are many FDA warnings about the dangers of costume lenses, although the lenses themselves are usually not to blame. Unfortunately, some people wear their costume contacts for several days straight, or put them in without washing their hands first, or swap the lenses with their friends, and then blame the theatrical contacts when they get an eye infection.The truth is that if you get reputable brand name costume lenses and take proper care of them, costume contacts are as safe as any other type of contact lens.Here are 5 simple rules, to keep costume contact lenses safe:Don't wear your costume contacts for longer than a few hoursDon't swap them with other peopleOrder your lenses from your doctor's office or a reputable online retailer. Contacts sold in costume shops or flea markets might be of questionable qualityHave an optometrist fit you with theatrical contactsClean your costume lenses properlyHow do I take care of my costume lenses?Novelty contact lenses don't require any special care; you simply treat them the same way as you would treat any contact lenses.All you need is a multi-purpose solution and a contact lens case, which you can get in any chemist shop. Rinse your lenses in the solution before inserting them in your eyes, and don't forget to wash your hands before handling the lenses.When you're not using your costume lenses, keep them in the solution, in their case. It is recommended that you change the solution at least once a week, if you don't use them for long periods of time.

But who would bother? If you have to wear contacts that have spent a month or so in their case, just give them a double rinse in fresh solution..

Grey lenses will work well for a variety of activities such as driving, and you will often see true pilot glasses fitted with grey lenses.Yellow ? Yellow tints reduce the amount of blue light that gets to the eyes, as well as provide excellent depth perception. While yellow tends to make everything bright and sharp, it also horribly distorts colors. Don't get yellow if you need to see colors as they really are. Despite this, yellow works awesome for snow sports like skiing, and fast reaction sports like shooting.Green ? Green lenses are another good general purpose because of their ability to provide visual acuteness. Green tints tend to reduce a bit of blue light, while providing glare protection.

Green is probably the most popular tint color.Brown & Amber ? Both brown and amber also make great general purpose lens tints. Both filter out blue light, and reduce glare. Look at using these tints if you need a lot of glare protection.Rose & Purple ? Both rose colored and purple colored lenses provide excellent contrast against blue and green backgrounds. Get these if you need something for hunting or water skiing.By taking the time to inform yourself on the different options available to you in lens colors, you will be assured of quality use over and over again ? Whatever your favorite activity happens to be..

According to Wacker, the restoration of her normal vision and appearance brought tears to her eyes. "Being able to see normally, without wearing an eye patch, was the best feeling in the world," Wacker says."Similarly, a fourteen year old boy born with no iris color in both eyes and experiencing extreme light sensitivity, wished for blue eyes like his parents have. He now has handsome blue eyes and is not sensitive to light as a result of our company hand painting a pair of blue irises on his soft contact lenses. They are so natural looking that few people realize these are not his own eye color."In addition, several babies - as young as three months and needing specially designed and colored lenses - have been helped, assuring them of normal vision as they continue to develop," Harper explains. Adventures In Color Technology, Ltd., serves eye care practitioners in private practice throughout the world, developing colors and patterns for low vision patients and continuing research for other retinal problems.

Hopefully, to soon help patients with macular degeneration, a debilitating loss of vision as the macula in the back of the eye becomes less and less responsive to light entering the eye through the pupil. This condition is the leading cause of blindness in our older population. The company's headquarters is located at 1511 Washington Avenue, Golden, Colo., 80401.

Another change in the world of photography is underwater photography. What do you think brings us those great shots of saltwater fish and movies that film in the ocean and under the sea? What about shots taken in swimming pools? You see those in the movies a lot but may not have thought about how they take those pictures and videos. You probably never thought about it because for a long time underwater photography was not really an option for everyday people. But now it is not just an option, it's really easy to achieve. - What is Underwater Photography? Underwater photography is as the name implies photos that are taken under water.

This is pretty interesting since early cameras could not function if wet. But as people started discovering the wonders under the sea, they wanted to be able to share that with others or even just to prove what they actuallysaw. So we began creating cameras that could work under water. It is no surprise that underwater photography is a favorite pastime for scuba divers. The idea could have come from those few people that were able to experience the joys and beauty of underwater life and a desire to share that beauty with others.There are many different occasions where people use underwater photography.

As we mentioned earlier, underwater photography is used in Hollywood for movies. You have probably also seen it used on documentaries and national geographic type programs about underwater life. But it is still most commonly used by divers. There are many websites dedicated to all the ins and outs of underwater photography; which cameras and lenses are best, which film to use, and much more can be found on these sites. - How to Take Underwater Photography Equipment is an important factor in taking great underwater photography.

Of course you will need an underwater camera but there is more than just that. You can take some amazing pictures using underwater photography. There are now even disposable use underwater cameras and you can take them on vacation with you and get that great underwater look. Even an amateur can do it. Disposable underwater cameras can typically be developed at your local Wal-Mart or other film developing center.

You can also purchase underwater cameras for more of a price but they last whenever you need one. Some people find this more economical than disposables, especially if they want to take these pictures often. Just like other venues of photography, you will probably start off with a cheaper and less advanced camera and work your way up if you continue underwater photography for a long time. There are two basics kinds of cameras; the underwater or waterproof camera and the encased camera which is inside a housing that protects it. When taking pictures, you are going to need to be familiar with:

• Your camera
• Your lens
• Your film
• Your flash

Such as:

• Depth of water and transparency of water
• Light
• The angle of the sunlight on the top of the water
• The backscatter
• Water has a magnifying effect
