Sclera Contacts: The Complete Guide to Full-Eye Sclera Lenses
Sclera contacts — also called sclera contact lenses or simply sclera lenses — cover your entire visible eye (iris and the white) for the most dramatic lens effect you can wear. Full black void, blood-red sclera and white undead looks are the ultimate Halloween and cosplay statement, and mini sclera styles offer a lighter take on the trend. Our sclera lenses are 100% opaque on any eye color, available plano or with a prescription, and every lens meets strict safety standards.

How to Wear Sclera Contacts Safely
Wear 4-6 hours max
Sclera lenses cover more of your eye, so limit wear to short events. Take breaks every 2 hours.
Never sleep in them
Sleeping in sclera lenses is the single biggest risk factor for eye injury. Remove them before rest.
Strict Safety Standards
Every lens we sell meets strict safety and quality standards and is made from medical-grade materials. Never share lenses.
Sclera Contacts FAQ
Are sclera contacts safe?
Yes, when worn correctly — our lenses meet strict safety standards. Because sclera lenses cover more of the eye, follow stricter rules: wear 4-6 hours max, never sleep in them, never share, and take breaks every 2 hours.
What is the difference between sclera and regular contacts?
Regular colored contacts cover only your iris. Sclera (full-eye) contacts cover the entire visible eye — iris and the white — for a complete, otherworldly color change.
Do I need a prescription for sclera contacts?
Yes. Under US contact lens regulations, all contact lenses — including plano decorative sclera lenses — require a valid prescription. Add yours at checkout or choose 0.00 and we will verify it.
How long can I wear sclera contacts?
4-6 hours maximum. Sclera lenses block more oxygen to your cornea than regular lenses, so they are for short events only. Never sleep in them.
What is the scariest sclera look?
The full black void is the most striking. For horror classics, full red sclera is the favorite. Both are available in our sclera collection.
Do sclera contacts show up on dark eyes?
Yes, 100%. Sclera lenses cover the entire visible eye, so they completely transform any eye color — dark brown and black included.
Can you get prescription sclera lenses?
Yes. U.S. regulations require a valid prescription for all contact lenses — including zero-power (plano) cosmetic lenses. Sclera contacts are sold as plano lenses for cosplay and Halloween, or with your prescription when you need vision correction. Add your prescription at checkout or choose 0.00 and we will verify it — see our prescription colored contacts guide for the full process.
What are 17mm sclera contacts?
17mm sclera contacts sit between a standard lens and the largest full-eye styles. A regular colored contact is about 14 to 14.5mm across, while the biggest full sclera lenses reach around 22mm, so a 17mm lens covers your iris and most of the white of your eye for a dramatic all-eye look that is easier to insert than the largest sizes. Wear them for short events only — 4 to 6 hours max.
Can you wear sclera contacts with astigmatism?
Yes, in most cases. Sclera contacts for astigmatism are a safe choice for events, but they do not correct your vision unless they carry your prescription. If you need vision correction, order with your sphere, cylinder and axis values from a valid prescription. Plano decorative sclera lenses are not corrective, so keep your glasses or regular prescription lenses handy for driving and close work, and ask your eye care professional before ordering.
How long can you wear sclera contacts?
Plan for 4 to 6 hours of total wear for one event. Sclera lenses cover more of your eye and let less oxygen through, so take a short break every 2 hours and never sleep in them. If your eyes feel dry, tired or uncomfortable, remove the lenses and rest your eyes.
Do sclera contacts hurt?
No — properly fitted sclera contacts should feel comfortable. A short settling-in period of a few minutes is normal, but sharp pain, vision that stays blurry, or a feeling that the lens is stuck means you should remove the lenses immediately and check with your eye care professional. Never wear a damaged or expired lens.
