With Halloween getting closer and closer you are sure to see a lot more options in the Yellow Contacts department. It helps to start early for a lot of different reasons. For one, the quicker you order them, the sooner you get them and you don’t have to stress about the delay in shipping that comes with Halloween season. You can typically get better deals by buying them early, as once stocks get lower, the deals usually drop off. The sales aren’t as good, and the free shipping doesn’t normally stay either. Every season is different so these might change but it definitely will help you save money and time by starting early. Look for reviews of the contacts you want before you buy, and if you aren’t sure exactly what types of contacts it is that you want, start deciding now.

Here are a few things you should check and do a run-down on before you make your purchase:

Do I have a prescription for my yellow contact lenses?

You won’t, or shouldn’t be able to purchase any colored contacts, regardless of color, without a valid prescription.

So before you go online and shop for the yellow contacts you want, consult with your local Doctor or Eye Care Specialist to make sure you are able to wear them and get the proper prescription.

This will be needed in order to order and wear them.

What style of yellow contacts do I want?

There are many styles and patterns to choose from. From Dark Yellow, to Wolves, Zombies, Vampires and more.

There are some that turn your entire eye dark yellow, while others will only effect your pupil.

We review some of the available places on the Internet that you can buy Yellow Contacts of all shapes and styles.

You can find all sorts of funky shapes and patterns of light yellow, yellow and dark yellow at those sites.

How long will it take to get my yellow contacts?

If you are ordering before Halloween you should typically expect a longer time to get them as they will no doubt be very busy.

It typically can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to get your yellow contacts so you should try to plan ahead and order them with plenty of time to get them for your party.

Ultimately, if you’ve already thought about getting yellow contact lenses it’s because you had something specific in mind. Maybe you are just searching for every color you can think of and see if anything pops out. More and more characters will have yellow eyes once you start noticing the color and I think it’s really an underrated color to bring out people’s eyes, and specifically evil and dark characters in the media such as TV or film.

A lot of people who find this blog will be here because of Avatar, but that will only last so long, eventually a new superhero or supervillian will come out and then yellow colored contacts will be back in style again.

My previous post goes into details on the best contacts I had found that can recreate the awesome and natural look of the Na’vi, the beings that inhabit the planet of Pandora.

As I predicted they are currently coming out with contact lenses explicitly for the Avatar. I’ve found some avatar contact lenses from Body Jewelry Shop, but I’m not sure how well they will actually look on. I’m looking for some good images on people that have purchased them and showing them off, but haven’t run across any just yet.

The avatar contact lenses available from Body Jewelry Shop look good enough, but I’m not sure of the size and quality once worn. If you run across any images, or have purchased some yourself, then send me some images and I’ll share them with everyone.

It’s really a good indication of how popular these contacts are going to be even now, and especially during the Halloween and costume party season. There have been a lot of reports in the news of people being so into the Avatar movie, and the Na’vi world that was created that they are getting detached from reality of this world we live in, because in comparison it falls very flat.

I’ve found many images of people who have recreated the Na’vi look, but not with actual contact lenses, but instead by editing their pictures with graphic programs, such as Adobe Photoshop. Some of the best ones I’ve seen so far:

If you plan on going as Na’vi now, or ever, you will probably know already that simply painting your face, adding the lines, sparkles and everything else will get you close, but unless you recreate the look of their fabulous yellow eyes, it won’t look as good as it should.

If you’ve ever purchased colored contact lenses before then you will have a head start on some of the things you need to know, but if you haven’t you might be in for a treat. Some of the basics you need to know are:

Buy them early. Don’t wait until a week or two before Halloween to order your avatar contact lenses. Many people do this, and even if they aren’t already out of stock, you might not get them shipped to you until it’s too late.

Get a prescription. Even if you aren’t getting any sort of vision correction you will still need a valid prescription from your doctor or eye care specialist to order them online. Get that ready before you try to order or it can hold it up until you do.

Take care of your contacts. If you take care of your colored contacts, you might be able to use them for a few Halloween’s instead of just one. Since it’s unlikely anything as big as the Na’vi will be out anytime soon, you can probably steal the show for quite a while!

The first kind will be tint, solely for visibility. They are usually light green or blue tints, and they just . . . → Read More: What are the different types of contacts?]]> There are essentially three types of colored contact lenses. Depending on what you want yellow contacts for, you should find the exact type you want, and then within that type, the different manufacturer’s styles will differ.

The first kind will be tint, solely for visibility. They are usually light green or blue tints, and they just help you find your contacts when you drop them. These aren’t really considered colored contacts, but more as regular contacts that have tint because once you put them on, you will not see the tint anywhere.

You won’t find yellow contacts with this style because yellow is already easy enough to see. These visibility type contacts are just for clear contacts typically.

The second kind of colored contact will be enhancements. They are not designed to totally change the color of your eyes but more just to add a slight tint. They do affect your eye color, but only slightly. These are more often found year-round and not just for costume or Halloween purposes.

They can be used by people with light eyes or dark eyes, although the ones with lighter eyes will always work better.

Colored tints are the third kind, and the more common for yellow colored contacts for your eyes. These will completely change the color of your eyes, usually regardless of what your natural color is. If you have dark eyes these work great because they cover the regular color of your eye completely.

These will be used more often for costume or Halloween partises. You can find them in a lot of different styles and designs ranging from vampires, wolves and zombies. There are also silly designs like flowers or smiley faces.

Maybe you don’t have an exact purpose yet, but just like the color yellow.

Fortunately there are many styles to choose from so you should be able to find out exactly what you need.

Yellow Sclera Contact Lenses

If you are looking to pull off the perfect zombie look, or perhaps just a sick or demented individual then you might want to check out buying some yellow sclera contact lenses.

Glowing Yellow Contact Lenses

These are some of my favorite yellow contacts simply because they really give you that extra chill factor by being able to glow in black lights. If you are going to be at a rave or a costume party with black lights, or even some Haunted Houses are using them now, you won’t be able to be topped by having your eyes glow bright yellow to everyone who sees you. You almost don’t need a costume to go along with it but if you do, it just makes it that much more freaky!

They are available from VisionDirect.com and have an 8.7 base curve, a 14 diameter and usually ship about a week after they verify your prescription. They cost about $35 per contact lenses, so they are pretty affordable for such an awesome look to be able to pull off.

If you have your eyes checked out by an eye care professional . . . → Read More: Do I need to be fitted for my yellow contacts?]]> It is always recommended that before you purchase, and especially wear your new yellow contacts that you were properly fitted to make sure that they will fit your eyes. All eyes are different shapes so it’s not always a one size fits all situation.

If you have your eyes checked out by an eye care professional you will know what size you can wear, and that you are safe to wear them. Most yellow contacts you buy online will be medium curve, which fits about 95-98% of the population, but other factors can take a part on the exact yellow contacts you should buy and wear.

If you do have a special need for the yellow contacts you plan on wearing, you should find out first before you spend any time or money on purchasing them. If you do need a special fitting or prescription, you can find a dealer online or locally that will be able to supply you with the perfect yellow contact lenses especially for your needs.

If you are buying them online, you will usually have to get a prescription first locally, and then the site you . . . → Read More: Are prescriptions required for yellow contact lenses?]]> Under recently new FDA laws that consider all contact lenses to be medical devices, regardless if they are vision correcting, you can only be sold contacts by a registrered and licenses Eye Car Professional, so yes.

If you are buying them online, you will usually have to get a prescription first locally, and then the site you buy them from will contact your Dr, or visa versa to verify that you can legally purchase the yellow contacts.

Because yellow contacts will be on your eyes, if you have never worn regular contacts before and this is your first time, you should take it serious and make sure you know exactly what you are doing before you begin to wear them.

Many people who have never needed contacts, or even glasses, decide they want to get some yellow contacts real quick and don’t do the research and end up damaging their eye or their contact lenses.

Just make sure that before you buy the yellow contacts, you get a prescription, you purchase the yellow contact lenses from a reputable and legal dealer and that you take proper care of your eye and the yellow contacts during the time you wear them and even store them. Because they last for a couple years, if you do plan on wearing them for Halloween, if you take the proper care you can reuse them for a couple Halloweens to follow.

Some places you purchase them from might only sell what are referred to as “Daily Wear” and these you should not try to sleep in.

Some places you purchase them from might only sell what are referred to as “Daily Wear” and these you should not try to sleep in. Since you are wearing yellow contacts to be noticed and look cool, perhaps in every day use or for a costume or Halloween party, you really don’t gain anything from sleeping in them anyways.

If you still want to attempt to sleep in your yellow contacts, you should consult your Dr. first. Like I said before it depends on the type you are wearing, as well as the overall health of your eye and other things that factor in.

If . . . → Read More: How long can I wear my yellow contacts?]]> Most yellow contacts you buy, will be made for occasional wear, since they will be considered theatrical wear. If you do purchase yellow contact lenses that are for everyday use, you will be able to use them for longer periods of time, but you should always check with the manufacturer and/or supplier of the yellow contacts.

If you do purchase yellow contacts for theatrical wear, it is usually recommended that you wear them for no longer than 3 to 4 hours. This gives you enough time for a costume or Halloween party, trick or treating or to take pictures.

After you wear them you should let your eyes rest and properly store and clean the yellow contacts afterwards.

You should typically wait a full 24 hours before you wear your yellow contacts again.
