Frankenstein and Dracula are dead (as in undead). But their iconic characters are constantly reincarnating, thanks to movie remakes. And not just in the movies. When Halloween comes around or yet another themed party, you’re bound to find a cemetery’s worth of Frankies and Dracs, each brought to spectacular non-life with a nifty pair of Halloween Contact Lenses.

Dracula Halloween Contact Lenses

Dracula

Dracula Face Contact Lenses

As for Dracula, the good Count has been depicted on celluloid since almost the beginning of the movie era. In 1922, the German expressionist film, Nosferatu, was the first on-screen appearance of everybody’s favorite bloodsucker – despite the fact that the producers hadn’t even procured the rights to Bram Stoker’s original book, or even the usage of the name, ‘Dracula’. But the phenomenon was firmly set in stone from that point onwards, and, a decade later, Bela Lugosi took on the role that made him famous in the 1931 Universal shocker, Dracula. In the 1960s, Christopher Lee became almost as celebrated for his own striking Dracula interpretation in a string of successful Hammer movies.

The lumbering, electrically-charged man-of-many-parts, Frankenstein’s monster (often incorrectly dubbed simply ‘Frankenstein’) is just as legendary. While many look to yet another German expressionist film as his first movie incarnation—The Golem (1915)—it is Universal’s ground-breaking 1931 flick, Frankenstein, that burned the image of the flat-topped man-made monster into the public’s eye. Whenever people dress up as him, it is always the Karloff look that they try to achieve. But whichever of these horror icons you choose to emulate, have fun and interpret your look in your own way. And a great way to do that is by choosing colored contact lenses. Browse our fantastic range at YouKnowIt.com and knock ‘em dead.

Times have obviously changed since the 1600’s where it was believed Leonardo da Vinci first illustrated the concept of contact lenses. Throughout the 20th century, contact lens history has continued to evolve and dramatic discoveries have allowed contacts to become more effective treatments for vision problems as well as fashion statements. Made from gas permeable materials, contact lenses have become safer and more comfortable, therefore making it inevitable to enter into the cosmetic contact lens market. YouKnowIt.com have a wonderful selection of crazy contacts and color contacts meaning if what we plan for the future comes true, you could actually be a real life Terminator (with less of the killing and dodgy accent of course).

Contact Lenses for Medical Use

Let’s be sensible and talk about the medicinal purposes and advantages of contact lenses of the future first. Contact lenses have proven to be a comfortable and more versatile form of correction for many eye problems including nearsightedness and farsightedness. Contact lenses have even provided a solution to the problem of astigmatism, the common occurrence of refractive errors causing blurred vision. However, the latest development in the contact lens world has pointed to the worldwide disease millions battle everyday, diabetes. Usually monitored by the skin prick method, doctors are able to assess your blood sugar level using a drop of your blood and some pH paper. Now researchers from The University of Akron have developed a contact lens that senses the glucose in your blood. If sugar is not being metabolised properly and glucose concentration builds up in the body, the contact lens will detect a problem and change colour. The benefits of this colour-changing diabetes contact lens would not only allow patients to identify pre-diabetic conditions allowing early diagnosis which is crucial for preventing diabetes from advancing, researchers hope the convenience of contact lenses could boost patient compliance to blood sugar testing, as it will reduce discomfort, inconvenience, and even cost. Overall it will be nothing but beneficial so if everything goes well, we could see these contacts in 3 years.

Futuristic Contact Lenses

I don’t think I’m the only who has ever watched films like The Terminator and Robocop and thought to myself “I wish I could see things in front of my eyes like these guys do”! Well even though these movies were well ahead of their time, they paved the way for the inevitable evolution of Bionic Contact Lenses. Especially in the last 5 years, we’ve noticed there’s been a lot of talk in the media about contacts making eye-glasses completely obsolete. Well we’re not sure how this will eventually happen but we’re looking forward to the bionic contact lens allowing us to ‘project emails before our eyes’. Scientists believe we could soon be wearing this technology that will allow us to read floating texts and emails or simply augment our sight with computer-generated images. The only problem they seem to have is finding a good power source to help power this phenomenal technology.

However, even though my next feature is not technically part of the contact lens world, we can’t help but be excited at the prospect of ‘Google Glasses’. And who knows…this could eventually turn into the next bionic contact lens to feature on YouKnowIt.com. Watch this space…

After receiving a number of questions about contact lenses, we here at YouKnowIt.com wanted to offer some friendly contact lens information. Whether you’re a newbie to the contact lens world or an advanced contact lens geek, we all need a little help from time to time.

1) Is it bad to share my contact lenses?

In a simple word – No! By all means share your bracelet, share your clothes and even share your deepest and darkest secrets. But you should never share your contact lenses. Sharing your contact lenses with others simply means you’re trading harmful germs and bacteria and I know not even the closest of people want to share that.

2) Can I wear my contacts whilst driving?

Yes, contact lenses can be worn whilst driving. However, it does depend on the contact lens we are talking about. Unfortunately, there are certain contact lens designs such as the screen and mesh contact lenses which cannot be worn as these contact lenses obstruct your vision slightly. So please be careful and if for any reason you feel as though your contact lenses are impeding your vision, do not wear them whilst operating any machinery including your car. Why not wait till you get to the party and then put them in before walking in?!

3) Will my contact lenses glow in the dark naturally?

This is a very common question. Contact lenses will not glow in the dark just on their own. They require a UV Light (i.e. a black light) in order to bring out the glow within contact lenses. UV Lights are commonly found in clubs, bars and raves meaning they will work well for you in a party environment. They will not start glowing if you put them in your eye and stand in your bedroom with the light turned off. Here at YouKnowIt.com, we have a fantastic collection of UV Contact Lenses.

4) Can I wear my contacts during certain sports?

YKI does offer a range of Freaky Prescription Contact Lenses which offer certain advantages over wearing spectacles when competing in sports. Here are a few sports where we believe you gain an advantage in sport by wearing contacts rather than glasses: -

Racquet Games – No more worrying about your glasses falling off
Ball Games – Contact lenses won’t restrict your peripheral vision like glasses do
Cycling – High-speed sports require concentration – not worrying about your glasses
American Football and Soccer – How many professional football & soccer players have you seen wear glasses on the pitch? Being a contact sport, glasses are out of the equation
Adventurous Sports – Not only dangerous, but wearing glasses can be uncomfortable

5) Can I use tap water to clean my contact lenses?

No, tap water should not be used to clean your contact lenses. Water is a very common source of infectious and potentially damaging micro-organisms that can pose a harmful threat to your vision if mixed with your contact lenses. Therefore, YKI always recommend using our Contact Lens Solution when cleaning your contacts.

6) What should I do if my contacts become dry or dehydrated?

From time to time, if contact lenses are exposed to air whilst off the eye, they may become dry and require re-hydration. If you feel as though your lenses need re-hydration, please use the following instructions: -

1) Handle the contact lens carefully to avoid tears

2) Place the lens carefully in its recommended storage container

3) Soak the contact lens in our Contact Lens Care Solution for at least 1 hour

4) If it returns to a soft wearable state, you are free to carry on wearing them. However, if they do not become soft and the surface remains dry, do not use them and simply dispose of them as they are no longer safe to use.

So please keep posting your questions to us and we’ll try our best to get back to each and every one of you. For even more info and some general tips, why not check out our guide on How To Wear Lenses.
