These lenses are often employed as costume accessories, particularly during the Halloween season, to achieve a striking or fantastical appearance. They provide a visual transformation to complement various costume themes. As an example, one might wear these lenses to enhance the effect of a zombie, demon, or cat costume.
The appeal of such lenses lies in their capacity to dramatically change one’s appearance, adding a layer of realism or theatricality to a costume. Historically, colored contact lenses were primarily the domain of the entertainment industry. However, advancements in manufacturing and distribution have made them accessible to a broader consumer base, increasing their popularity for festive occasions. A key benefit is the ability to create a memorable and impactful visual impression, though safety considerations are paramount.
