Mini sclera contact lenses are a type of colored contacts that cover some of the sclera (the white of your eyes). They are different from full sclera contact lenses but do give the effect of big eye contacts. The diameter of the lens varies but tends to be between 15mm – 17mm which is larger than regular colored contacts. In comparison, full sclera contact lenses are usually 22mm in diameter and regular contact lenses range between 13.8 – 14.2mm. At Coloured Contacts, you will find the diameter and other specifications in the product description to help you choose colored lenses that are suitable for your eyes.

What is a scleral contact lens?

A scleral contact lens is a lens that is larger than the iris of the eye. The sclera of the eye is the white of the eye therefore sclera contact lenses describe styles that cover part or all of the white of the eye.

There is some evidence to suggest that full sclera contacts cheap could potentially cause harm to the eye. They are not designed to be worn as a daily lens and instead should only be worn for a few hours at a time. This is to allow the eye to ‘breath’. It is also important to thoroughly clean the lenses when inserting sclera contacts because the sclera of the eye is highly sensitive and could be susceptible to infection. Always check that you are purchasing colored contact lenses from a reputable supplier.

Just like all our colored contacts lenses, our mini sclera contact lenses are made from a soft breathable material for comfort. These lenses are CE Marked and FDA Approved so you can feel confident knowing our contact lenses are fit for purpose and safe to use.

At Coloured Contacts, we supply a range of Halloween mini sclera lenses which are 15mm contact lenses or mini sclera 17mm, designed to cover only some of the sclera (white of the eye). This reduces the risk to your eye and can also make them feel more comfortable.

Another benefit of the 17mm and 15mm contacts is that they are easier to insert than full sclera contacts as they are only a few millimetres larger than regular colored contact lenses. This difference in size is noticeable once the contacts are inserted, making the effect perfect for SFX Horror Costumes.
