Football World Cup special contact lenses
by Paz in Football Gadgets, Wacky Gadgets
We’ve filed these bizarre contact lenses under “Football Gadgets”. They’re certainly striking – if you’ll pardon the football pun!
These cool-looking contact lenses were manufactured by a German optician, Stephanie Berndt, to celebrate the forthcoming football World Cup.
Our sports coach always used to shout; “Keep your eye on the ball!” but with these lenses it’s more a case of “Keep the ball on your eye”.
The contact lenses, modelled here by Stefanie herself, are available for just $54 (including another pair with an image of the German flag). The only problem for me is that my eyes tested OK at the last appointment, so I guess I can’t wear them for this World Cup. Another thing’s at the back of my mind: can you actually see properly when you’re wearing them?
Unfortunately, Stefanie doesn’t have a website at this time, so you’ll have to pop over to Munich in person to get hold of the set. I’m sure there’ll be a big queue this summer.

May 29th, 2006 at 9:31 pmLOL I don’t know much about contact lenses. I’m sure they must be safe if they’re designed by an optician.

January 16th, 2007 at 7:42 pmI just love these. They are so cool and I like the fact that you can still see the iris of the eye.

March 1st, 2007 at 1:39 pm“Football Gadgets” Cool contact lenses – Are you sure these are safe and recommended by opticians?
James Knight Says:
July 10th, 2007 at 1:50 pmThere are plenty of these ‘fun’ contact lens designs around, but this has to be one of the worst! Frankly they look scary. The subtle lenses that change eye colour can be nice, if done properly, but these are, well, garish.
Ugh!
