Special-effect contact lenses — including gothic contact lenses and other "crazy" lenses — are soft contact lenses that are available for Halloween, theatrical and novelty uses.

In fact, many of the special effects you see in movies are the result of these specially designed variations of color contact lenses.

Gothic and special-effect contact lenses can be used whether or not you normally wear eyeglasses or contact lenses, because they are available both with and without prescriptive correction. The coloring of these lenses is opaque (except for the portion over the pupil), so they achieve the desired theatrical effect on both light- and dark-colored eyes.
