Cosplay Contacts (costume play) is a hugely popular activity that involves dressing up as characters from movies, comic books, anime and video games. While costumes and makeup are important to a cosplayer’s look, the right pair of contact lenses can complete the transformation. Cosplay contacts can change eye color or create “effects” for your eyes that help you resemble your favorite character.

Colossal cosplay lenses are available in a wide range of colors and styles, so it’s important to choose the correct lenses for your character. When choosing your contacts, consider the skin tone and lighting of the character you’re cosplaying as. For example, blue or gray colored contacts work well with cool skin tones while green or hazel lenses suit warm ones.

It’s also important to purchase your cosplay contacts from an authorized retailer that sells only FDA-approved lenses. Ill-fitting contacts can cause a variety of serious eye problems, including scratches on the cornea and eye infections. You should always follow the instructions on how to properly put in, remove, clean and store your cosplay contacts to minimize risk.

If you wear colored contacts, you should not share them with anyone. They are medical devices fitted for the use of one person and sharing them can lead to serious eye infections. You should also avoid wearing them if your eyes are sore or red. If you experience discomfort, remove the contact lenses and consult your optometrist or ophthalmologist for further advice.
