special effects lenses

Cantor & Nissel is able to offer the world's widest range of coloured and speciality contact lenses - available either with or without prescription.

For Dramatic Effect...
Have you ever wondered how effects such as the eyes of Jack Nicholson in the film Wolf or those of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview with the Vampire were achieved?

By using specially constructed lenses Cantor & Nissel can custom design and hand paint virtually any colours or patterns onto soft lenses - including company names or logos.

For those who really want to stand out from the crowd, Disco Lenses glow bright green in ultra violet light, whilst Vertical Cat's Eye Pupils are a stunning choice from Cantor & Nissel's range of individual designer-look lenses.

For the Natural Look...
Pastel Tinted Cosmetic Lenses
Pastel tinted soft lenses can be made either to enhance your natural eye colour, or to subtly change the colour of your eye. Because they allow some of your natural eye colour to show through, these lenses can look extremely natural. However, they are only suitable for wearing by people whose natural eye colour is of a light shade. Cosmetic tinted lenses are available in various shades of blue, violet, green, grey, violet and brown.

Opaque Coloured Cosmetic Lenses
Opaque soft lenses can change even the darkest eye to a different colour. These lenses tend to look more natural when a dark shade is chosen. Opaque lenses are available in deep shades of blue, violet, aqua, green and brown.

Therapeutic Lenses
Cantor & Nissel lenses are used around the world in hospitals and clinics in applications ranging from simple occlusive black pupils, to hand painted soft shells for the cosmetic masking of a wide variety of medical eye conditions.

Warning
Contact lenses may only be fitted and supplied by a qualified optical practitioner. They must be used in conjunction with solutions recommended by the practitioner and in accordance with the instructions of the solution manufacturer. A qualified medical practitioner should always be consulted regarding medical contact lenses.
