Opaque cosmetic lenses designed to cover the iris and pupil, creating a solid white appearance, are frequently used for Halloween costumes and theatrical purposes. These lenses can dramatically alter the wearer’s appearance, producing an otherworldly or frightening effect. For example, a character portraying a zombie or a ghost might use these lenses to enhance their costume’s visual impact.
The popularity of such costume accessories stems from their capacity to generate compelling visual transformations. Historically, actors have used makeup and prosthetics to achieve similar effects, but colored and patterned lenses offer a more convenient and striking solution. Their use, however, necessitates careful consideration of safety protocols and proper fitting to minimize potential risks to ocular health.
