This Halloween, jazz up your costume with some scary contact lenses. With scores of spine-tingling eye candy to choose from, you’ll only be limited by your imagination--or your wallet.
Simple spiderweb eye shrouds or raver lenses that glow under blacklights cost about $35, while custom-made theatrical lenses can go for as much as $500. Scleral or SFX lenses are contacts with a large diameter to cover your entire eye, and are significantly more expensive than more traditional contact lenses. Keep in mind that these prices are frequently on a per lens basis, so budget accordingly.
