Frequently Asked Questions
What color contacts do zombies wear?
Bloodshot red is the classic zombie look — it reads "recently dead". For ancient or supernatural zombies, white-out and black-out lenses work better. Choose bloodshot for fresh zombies, white or void for old ones.
Are zombie contacts safe?
Yes, when worn correctly — our lenses meet strict safety standards. Follow the prescription, hygiene, and wear-time rules, and never share lenses or sleep in them.
Can I get zombie contacts with my prescription?
Yes. Most of our zombie styles are available with prescription — select your sphere power at checkout (or 0.00 for plano). We verify every prescription before shipping.
How long can I wear zombie contact lenses?
Up to 8 hours for standard lenses, and 4–6 hours for intense patterns. Start with a 2–3 hour test wear a few days before Halloween.
What is the scariest zombie lens?
Black-out lenses give the soulless ancient-zombie look, bloodshot red reads best for freshly turned zombies, and white-out works for long-dead ones. Pick the pattern that matches your character.
