Gellert Grindlewald eyes - Contact Lens Help Request?

John Griffiths

Hi, I'm doing a costume for next year where I'm dressing up as the Gellert Grindlewald.

He's got some strange eyes, very Bowie inspired, one looks white and the other looks either blue or hazel which i'm guessing goes darker combined with his natural eye colour.



Now I've worn contact before but never theatrical ones.

I've contacted my optician and waiting to hear from them about them but does anyone know a good reputable place to get theatrical contacts?

Thanks in advance,

Reuben Diamond

Cantor and Nissel are industry giants, but they might be too expensive (you should look them up anyway their stuffs amazing)

Thanks Reuben, agree they look awesome but they hide their prices so probably a little expensive like you say.

I also contact my optician and they suggested crazy lenses by colourvue which they can fit for me and also check the breathe-ablilty of when i wear them for about $70.

Gonna try them once I figure out the right styles to choose,

Thanks again

9mm SFX is also a reputable company with effects lenses:

Again, these types of lenses are going to be on the expensive side.  That said, never take any chances with your eyes.  Anyone working in this industry has heard countless horror stories of people getting cheap lenses for a production (or halloween) and doing some kind of damage.
