Do blind contact lenses actually make you blind?
Blind contact lenses are designed for dramatic visual effect and can obscure your vision while you're wearing them. Because they cover the iris and the pupil, they will make it difficult to see clearly.
This effect is temporary and purely cosmetic, making these lenses ideal for photos, videos, or short periods at events. They’re not suitable for activities where clear vision is essential, such as walking in dark spaces or driving. If you’re unsure which lens will work best for your needs, we’re always happy to help guide you safely.
Can you see through blind contact lenses?
Blind lenses are designed for dramatic visual impact, and they obscure your vision. Since they cover the iris, and the pupil, they can create a blurred or completely blocked view, depending on the style.
They're best suited for photoshoots, video, or short bursts during events like Halloween or cosplay. While they may affect visibility, they deliver an intense, spooky look that can truly bring your character to life. If you’re unsure which blind lens fits your needs best, we’re always happy to help you choose the right option for both style and comfort.
Are blind contact lenses safe to wear?
Yes, our blind lenses are safe to wear and manufactured to meet strict eye safety standards. However, it’s important to know that our blind lenses obscure your vision while wearing them, especially full-white or full-black designs.
They’re ideal for events, cosplay, or photo shoots, but we don’t recommend using them in situations where clear vision is essential. Always follow proper lens care and handling instructions to keep your eyes comfortable and protected.
What’s the difference between blind, mesh, and white sclera lenses?
Each of these lens types offers a different effect, and it's important to understand how they impact both appearance and visibility:
Blind lenses fully cover the iris and pupil, creating a dramatic, opaque look. They significantly blur your vision, so they’re best for short-term wear or photoshoots.
Mesh lenses also cover the iris and pupil but are designed with a perforated pattern that allows you to see through them, although visibility will be slightly reduced.
White sclera lenses are larger lenses that cover the entire visible eye, including the sclera (white of the eye), but leave the pupil area clear, so your vision remains mostly unaffected.
Choosing the right lens depends on the look you're going for and how much visibility you need. If you’re unsure which style will work best for your event or costume, we’re always here to help you find the right fit, visually and comfortably.
Can I drive or walk around in blind contact lenses?
No, you should never drive while wearing blind lenses. These lenses fully cover the pupil and iris, significantly obscuring your vision and making it unsafe for any activity that requires clear sight.
They’re designed for static use only, perfect for photoshoots, film, or short scenes where you're not moving around much. While you may be able to walk short distances carefully, we recommend limiting movement and using them in controlled environments.
If you’re unsure whether blind lenses are suitable for your planned event or activity, feel free to reach out, we’re happy to help you choose the safest and most effective option for your look.
Do I need a prescription for blind contact lenses in the UK?
At Colour Your Eyes, we only sell non-prescription cosmetic lenses designed for aesthetic use. While you don’t need a vision correction prescription to buy from us, we always recommend using lenses safely and responsibly, especially with styles like blind lenses that can impact your vision.

How long can I wear blind contact lenses for?
We recommend wearing blind contact lenses for no more than 2–4 hours at a time. Because these lenses fully cover the pupil and iris, they blur your vision and can become uncomfortable if worn for extended periods.
They’re best suited for short events like photoshoots, Halloween parties, or performance scenes, any situation where you won’t need clear or prolonged vision.
If you’re unsure how long to wear them safely for your event or need help choosing an alternative lens, we’re always happy to assist and make sure you get the right fit for both your look and comfort.
