eye-grey Full Sclera Contact Lenses
FAQ's
What are sclera contact lenses?
Sclera contact lenses, like our Black Sclera 22mm Full Eye, are designed to cover the entire visible part of your eye, including the white (sclera), not just the iris. With their full-coverage, high-impact design, these lenses are a go-to for cosplay, Halloween, and SFX looks where you want a truly transformative effect.
They’re larger than standard lenses, which means they can take a little more care to insert and remove. But when it comes to making a statement, they’re hard to beat. If you're unsure whether full scleras are right for your comfort level or character, we’re always here to help guide you to the best option for your look.
Can you see through full sclera lenses?
Yes, you can see through our sclera lenses. While they fully cover the white of your eye for maximum impact, the centre is clear over the pupil, so your vision remains mostly unobstructed.
That said, due to their larger size, sclera lenses may feel different to wear and can slightly affect your peripheral vision. They’re best suited for events, photoshoots, or cosplay where a dramatic look is key. If you’re trying them for the first time or unsure which style is best, we’re always happy to help guide you to a lens that delivers both comfort and the effect you’re after.
Are sclera contact lenses safe to wear?
Yes, our sclera lenses are safe when used correctly and cared for properly. Because they’re larger than standard lenses, we recommend wearing them for no more than 2 to 4 hours at a time. Their size can reduce oxygen flow to the eyes, which may cause some dryness or irritation if worn too long.
They’re perfect for high-impact events, cosplay, or shoots, but comfort should always come first. If you’re new to scleras or unsure how long you should wear them, we’re always here to help you wear them safely and comfortably while still achieving the look you want.
Do I need a prescription for sclera contact lenses in the UK?
At Colour Your Eyes, we only sell cosmetic lenses that don’t correct vision. While you don’t need a prescription to place an order with us, it’s still important to wear them responsibly, especially with larger lens styles like scleras that cover more of the eye.
If you’re new to sclera lenses or unsure whether they’re right for you, we’re always happy to help you choose a lens that’s safe, comfortable, and gives you the dramatic effect you’re after.
Can I get prescription sclera lenses in the UK?
The main difference comes down to coverage and size. Full sclera lenses cover the entire visible part of your eye, including the full white (sclera), for the most dramatic effect. Mini sclera lenses still offer bold impact but only cover most of the white area, making them slightly smaller and generally more comfortable for longer wear.
Neither lens type covers the pupil, so you’ll still be able to see through them, though full scleras may affect peripheral vision slightly more. If you’re unsure which lens suits your look or comfort level, we’re always happy to help you choose the right option for your next event or cosplay.
How long can I safely wear sclera contact lenses?
Because sclera lenses are larger and cover more of your eye, they can slightly reduce oxygen flow. That’s why we recommend wearing them for short periods, ideally between 2 to 4 hours at a time.
They’re designed for high-impact looks, not long wear. If you’re planning on using them for a photo shoot, event or cosplay, just be sure to give your eyes breaks and keep some lubricating drops on hand if needed. Comfort and eye health always come first!
Are sclera lenses painful or hard to insert?
Sclera lenses are larger than standard lenses, so applying and removing them takes a bit more care, but it’s totally manageable with the right steps. Start by washing and drying your hands thoroughly. When inserting, look slightly upward and gently place the lens on the white of your eye, then blink slowly to help it settle into place.
To remove, look up again and gently slide the lens down using your fingertip until it reaches the lower white of your eye, then pinch it out softly. Always use fresh contact lens solution and store your lenses in a clean case after each wear.
What characters or costumes are best for sclera lenses?
Sclera lenses are perfect for high-impact looks and are often used for demons, aliens, vampires, zombies, and even darker Marvel or DC villains like Venom or Red Skull. Because they cover the entire visible part of your eye, they instantly add a surreal, intense effect that transforms your whole look.
They’re especially popular around Halloween and cosplay events when you want to take your character to the next level. If you're not sure which sclera style fits your costume best, we’re always here to help you match your lens to your character and make sure it delivers the impact you're after.
