Previously we mentioned that the type of contacts you wear in your eyes can have different effects on peoples moods when they look at you, as well as the type of mood you’re in. It’s been said that the “eyes are the windows to the soul” and whether or not you’re a religious person or not, most would agree that by looking at peoples eyes you can tell a lot about them. For this reason it’s important that people understand the different ways that certain cool contacts or scary contacts could have an impact on your relationships or how people see and treat you.
Cool Contacts – Attraction
Many people think that some of the most attractive eyes on a person are blue eyes, some might say green, while others like brown. So depending on the person you’re talking to, wearing a specific type of color contacts could actually create attraction! It’s been said that attraciti
on isn’t a choice so wearing the right type of contacts can be a very powerful decision, but if you could help your attraction with someone by wearing a certain color of contacts, would you be embarrassed to let them know that it isn’t your true eye color? One may argue that wearing cool contacts to help create attraction is just like wearing makeup, or put styling your hair, it’s not how you normally look so why should it matter? This of course comes down to the different types of people that you’ll encounter and what they’re comfortable with. Most likely you would be hard pressed to find someone who would only date a person with a specific eye color, so the good news is you could use it to create attraction sub consciously but in the end not have it effect your long term results with that person.
Cool Contacts – Social Scenes
Some people can also use contact lenses in other social aspects. What if you didn’t want someone to see where you were looking? If you were able to wear some contacts that were all black but translucent enough to see through you could play poker without people being able to see your eyes and without people being able to see where you’re looking. They say that when you see something you like your pupils dialate. This is a powerful read (or “tell” as it’s known in the poker world) that, depending on how much you’re playing for, could cost you thousands of dollars! Currently most poker players simply wear sunglasses, but it probably isn’t too far in the future when they will be wearing black contacts – how intimidating would that be to see the President of the United States standing next to his secret service men standing there with black eyes? Now that would be some cool contacts!
Cool Contacts – Used
It may sound crazy but a quick search on ebay or amazon and you may find yourself looking at some pretty cool contacts but that have been used. Your first natural response would be to think “no way!” and for good reason. As mentioned, contacts are long sense known for prescription purposes which means that the specific contacts are meant for specific people, not for resale. But since not all contacts are prescription this opens up the door for other people to use them if you feel comfortable doing so. You may think it’s dirty wearing somene elses contacts, it’s also good to think that contacts are sterilized and cleaned and can be cleaned again once you receive them.
Purchasing used contacts is just like purchasing a used shirt off of E-bay, it’s most certainly been worn by someone before you. Their sweat, dirty, and body have been all over it but people typically don’t have an issue with this. It’s easiest if you realize that it’s just in your head that any type of dirtyness can affect you, since in most cases it can’t.
There are however some risks that you should take into account before purchasing used contacts. You want to be sure that the contacts have not been torn or physically damaged in any way. This sometimes can happen if the contacts are left in a very hot place, or if it’s dropped on a grainy surface that can physically scrath the contact lense. It will be difficult to spot these imperfections at first, but upon close examination you should be able to see them. Since bacteria can get into contacts it’s also very important that you do a very thorough cleaning to the contacts to ensure that all bacteria has been removed. Your eyes can become infected if you’re not careful.
Overall it’s generally safe to purchase used contacts, but unless the cost is drastically lower than new contacts it’s best to purchase them new. That way you can be more confident there isn’t something wrong with them before you get it.
