It’s our guess that avatar contacts are going to be the next big thing in contact lense styles. There are already a few manufacturers who have made some yellow contact lenses they are selling as “Avatar Contact Lenses” but I’ve yet to see anything that perfectly works yet. I know one thing that is going to hinder them is the fact they the Na’vi’s eyes are much bigger than normal human eyes, so they got they working against them.
The fact that it’s nowhere near Halloween yet, when they colored contacts really start flying off the shelves that they are already investing time and energy into making new contacts specifically for Avatar. I would say right now it’s best to hold off until they make a really great pair, but if you are really into dressing like the characters from Avatar then Body Jewelry Shop has a good pair that can do the job.
There are many people going after the look of Na’vi in real life, you might have seen some makeup demonstrations on Youtube, there are some that actually want to be Na’vi in real life. You can bet that at the end of the day when there are a great pair of yellow contacts for Avatar that these people will be some of the first ones to buy them.
As you can see, they might be able to get the look down, but without the eyes, it loses a big part of the effect in my opinion. There is no doubt eventually they will bring it to the next level, and you’re gonna see some really great costumes.
When you start shopping for your new Avatar Contact Lenses, there should be a few things you consider before you delve in and make the purchase.
First off, you should make sure that you have a valid prescription for contacts. You might be thinking, well I’m not going to get any sort of vision correction on them, so I won’t need a prescription, but for any contacts, Colored, Soft or Theatrical, you will need to see your doctor or Eye Care Specialist to get a valid prescription. If you are ordering online, you will need to show them this proof, by either Fax or E-mail. If you are buying them locally, you will have to bring it in. Sometimes they can look it up, but different systems are capable of different methods. The bottom line is, before you can buy any Avatar Contacts, make sure you have that first.
Since Avatar eyes look so unique, especially the size, you will most likely find that you will have to buy costume contacts, instead of regular, tinted or soft contacts. Since this will be the case, make sure that you take proper care of them and don’t wear them for too long. If you are used to regular contacts, or extended wear, you might feel like you can wear them for long periods of time, or even over night. You need to make sure you find out from the manufacturer or the place or person you bought your Avatar contacts from, how long you can safely wear them.
