Cosmetic contact lenses
A cosmetic contact lens is designed to change the appearance of the eye.
These lenses may also correct the vision, but some blurring or obstruction of vision may occur as a result of the color or design. These types of lenses tend to cause mild irritation on insertion, but after the eyes become accustomed to them, tend to cause no long term damage.
Though it is advised that these lenses not be worn too much, research has shown them to have no direct link to any forms of eye degradation.
Theatrical contact lenses are a type of cosmetic contact lens that are used primarily in the entertainment industry to make the eye appear pleasing, unusual or unnatural in appearance.
