How well is the visibility through theatrical contact lenses?
Question: I just got contact lenses and wanted to get theatrical ones just to mess around with and scare some people. I want to know how well you are able to see through the lenses. Is it like looking through regular contacts?
Answer: I bought a pair of color contact lenses before and have had no problems at all seeing through the lens. It's because most contact lenses have an open hole through the center to let your entire pupil see-through. If you're talking about theatrical lenses where the color actually goes on top of the pupil… each lenses color is dyed with a translucent color, therefore it will not be completely opaque. You might have a tinted vision, somewhat like sunglasses.. but you will still be able to see. In case you're wondering where I got my lenses, try http://www.qqcontacts.com .. i think it's a great site to get extra-wide yearly cosmetic color contacts (like the girls in anime shows).. too bad they don't have the theatrical lenses you're talking about though;)

Answer: yes you can if you go get fitted and they are in your RX strength
