Black Contact Lens - Some Of Their Uses

The contact lens world has indeed changed. Once designed and produced to improve vision, the contact lens has morphed into some sort of toy. The black contact lens is an innovative contact lens slowly becoming popular among the young. Ideal for parties (fancy dress) and other celebratory functions, black contacts lens are certainly novel. You heard people call other people “shark eyes” because that person’s eyes seem void of feeling or emotion, with these lens shoved in his or her eyes, you’ve really got yourself some shark eyes.

Colored contact lens are all the rage these days as young folk complete for attention at the many Halloween parties held in October and the many Christmas parties held at the end of the year. It seems there are colored contact lenses for all occasions. White contacts can be purchased and worn when you’re feeling – dead? Similarly red contacts for when you’re wanting everyone to think you have a hangover (or took an early morning flight). There is also green for the gardeners among us, pink for the vegetable eaters and blue for the sailors. Contact lens manufacturers producing these kinds of colorful lens are no doubt making a killing financially, if the weren’t, production would stop.

So what kind of people would wear black contact lens? Well, aside from university students at some drunken party, I think a few professionals would. Musicians that have a stage show that has been deemed “weird” by the critics would insert these lenses in their eyes without a moments thought. A worker at an amusement park may wear them in some sort of attraction – the haunted house, for example. Hollywood actors would wear such props for a horror movie or a science fiction movie that had one scene that required someone to receive bionic eyes – wait a minute! Have I just come up with the beginnings of a screenplay?

This lens, along with other colors available on the market today, is purely, in my opinion, a toy. If, in the future the wearing of black contact lens while dismantling a nuclear bomb would protect the dismantler’s eyes from radiation, then I would most certainly support the production of such lenses. Likewise, if it could be proved that inserting these lenses into your eye made it possible to see further into space, I would again, be a strong ardent supporter. Not only would I support these lenses in a scientific way but also in a humanitarian way. Again, if it could be proved that wearing these kinds of contacts would help the indigenous peoples wandering the deserts of the Middle East, see better, then by all means, mass produce them. However, until inventions like the black contact lens can be used for anything other than entertainment, I’ll continue calling them toys.
