How do UV lenses work?
UV lenses hold a special UV-reactive pigment, locked safely in between layers of your lens material. This is completely safe and comfortable for your eyes, but just be aware that these lenses may be less flexible than others, meaning that they might be more suited for an experienced lens-wearer. Other than that, you just have to remember to care for your lenses as normal. And remember- these lenses are NOT glow-in-the-dark. They will glow under a UV light, but not in regular darkness.

Our UV ranges:
These lenses are just like our regular cosplay styles, except with the added benefit of UV-reactive pigment. Check out our range of bright colors like pink, white, orange, green, red, and blue.
Want a Halloween outfit that reflects the beast inside? Our Cat Eye lenses feature an extended pupil for a feline, wild look that will drive everyone crazy. Make your animal look even brighter with our UV colors! The range includes styles like Yellow Cat Eye, Aqua Lizard, and White Snake Eye.
Our blind and mesh styles are among our most striking designs, covering the entire eye to create an undead, blinded look. Try our White UV Blind lenses for a glowing zombie look, or our Mesh Blue UV lenses for a character-accurate Avatar cosplay!
PLEASE NOTE: these lenses WILL impair your vision and make it hard to see. Please do not wear these lenses while driving. We recommend using these blind or mesh lenses in your spooky photoshoots and switching them out for different lenses with better visibility before you leave the house.
And that’s not all! Our website also hosts other UV styles, such as our Volturi Orange lenses, with sparks of glowing pigment, or the new I-Glow Cosplay range, which features a smaller pupil and marbled design.
