Hi, I’m practicing with black sclera lenses for my merrow character, the ones that make most of your eye look black rather than just the iris. I’m getting better getting them in, but what I’m noticing is that when I blink, the lenses will move away from centre on my pupil to off-centre, away from my nose, so the pupil of the lense are partly on my iris and partly on the sclera. And when I move my eyes around, the lenses will move slightly but not with my eyes, which I can see move under the lense (to the point where, if I example move my eye to look towards my nose, my iris will be completely under the black part of the lense and the pupil gap will be entirely on my white sclera. Anyone had this and did you manage to fix it?
This, to be a bit of a downer, sounds like the lenses you have are the wrong size for your eye. Some shift is normal, but that sounds quite dramatic
Sclerals are notorious in the cosplay/costuming community for being absolute terrors for this exact reason (alongside cost and discomfort for wear over a long period)
My advice, if you’re dead set on wearing them for field is to get an opticians appointment and ask them to measure your eyes, making clear it’s for contact lenses.
(Mostly because poor fitting lenses can seriously mess up your eyes)
Sounds sensible! I’ll likely try to exactly that! Ah, will be a shame though, I was so looking forward to having them for King’s Stoke Wassail this weekend … but yes, better to wait until I have more proper fitting lenses.
If I can’t get all black eyes, my backup would be to get white irises.
