Yellow Eye Contacts for Cosplay

When you want to make a lasting impact and take your cosplay to the next level, there's nothing like colored contact lenses. They provide the finishing touch that you'll need for your look, and they're also a great way to add a bit of mystique and intrigue to any costume, especially when you match the color of your eyes to the rest of what you're wearing.

Unless you're one of the five percent of people that are born with amber eyes, yellow eye contacts for any serious cosplay is mandatory, and they can help you complete a look even if you were born with brown, blue, green or hazel eyes. If you're going all out on makeup and wardrobe, it's bad form to skimp out on the eyes just because you're not a fan of wearing contacts. After all, all the cosplay greats know that the eyes are one of the main focal points of cosplay, and all the makeup in the world won't be able to hide the fact that your eyes are the wrong color.

But yellow contacts for cosplay aren't some sharable, disposable piece of your costume. Because they go in your eyes, they must be made for safe wearing, which means that yellow contacts and all the other colors and designs are actually optical products with an expiration date and other safety measures built-in. That's to protect you, the wearer, from eye damage and other issues with contacts that might damage your vision or the sensitive areas of your eye itself.

In fact, over 30,000 kids and teenagers injure their eyes and end up spending a night in the emergency room each year from using expired or fake colored contact lenses. The biggest culprit is unscrupulous sellers that offload their yellow contact lens to cosplayers without ever asking for a prescription. Even if you don't wear glasses or contacts, you'll need a prescription to safely order contacts online and in person, and anyone that doesn't ask for your prescription is actually selling contacts illegally due to the regulation of colored contacts by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to the FDA, yellow contact lens and all other colored contacts are actually medical devices, and even one wearing can damage your eyes, nevermind the sanitary and health issues from using contacts that haven't been cleared by the FDA. But once you get properly fitted for lenses, you'll have everything you need to browse and order yellow contact lens for cosplay or any other use. 

Even if you have 20/20 vision, a proper fitting will ensure that you're purchasing the right size and shape for your unique eyes, which can help save you from a last-minute trip to the ER instead of making it to that photo shoot or party. It only takes a split second to harm your eye, and proper contact etiquette opens up the entire world of decorative contacts to your cosplay life without risking your eye's health.

Keep in mind that there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all yellow colored contacts for cosplay or any other use. Like clothes, contacts are made for the shape and fit of your eyes, and an ill-fitting contact can damage your eye or lead to discomfort and irritation. Contacts that don't carry an expiration date can also pose an infection risk if they're used past the expiration date or if they're not cleaned properly or stored in a proper, medical container.

Not only can poor-fitting yellow colored contacts for cosplay cut or scratch your eyes, but they can allow bacteria to develop, which puts you at a higher rate of infection. Corneal abrasions are also possible, as are ulcers and even blindness, so it's very important to only purchase colored contacts from a reputable seller that asks for a prescription and provides proper cleaning and storage instructions -- as well as when a contact must be thrown out (usually within 12 months).
