Contact lenses made of opaque plastic.As blind people don't need to see through their contact lens, the lens can be made of solid plastic. Manufactured in a range of bright colours that will make the lenses easier to find when dropped on the floor.

Er... I don't know where to start. I'll just put my opaque contact lenses in. I'm sure they'll help. — st3f, Nov 30 2005

Excellent candidate for a pineapple, I reckon. — moomintroll, Nov 30 2005

But you do realize that opaque contact lenses are more than a little Baked, albeit with a clear spot in the center to see out of? Just Google on that term. — DrCurry, Nov 30 2005

They're also baked without the clear spot. Opaque white contact lenses and pale skin makeup is one way to make a good looking (!) zombie on screen.

This sounds like an echo of something. It's just that I don't know what. — st3f, Nov 30 2005

Inspired by "Contact lens orientation indicator," just guessing. — DrCurry, Nov 30 2005

Um, am thinking if you're blind it won't matter how colorful the lens is, you still ain't gonna see it.

The only thing I could fathom is maybe a cosmetic fix for a cataract eye? Still, you should really get that fixed instead of covering it up. — Zuzu, Nov 30 2005

Good call [Zuzu] Exactly what I thought. Also I am curious... why do blind people need contacts? — PollyNo9, Dec 01 2005

Hmm...where to start? 1: If you're blind, why would you need a contact lens? 2: If you're blind, how will the color of your contact lens help you to FIND it after being dropped? — Freefall, Dec 01 2005

It sounds like there's a good prank there somewhere: equivalent to staring at the sky, then checking to see how many others are doing the same. — Ling, Dec 01 2005

[Freefall]: in answer to point 2 - it is quite simple. You just make sure your lens is in a loud colour. — Jinbish, Dec 02 2005

I was thinking of posting the same idea but for a different reason - more effective than a blindfold. — yamahito, Apr 20 2010
