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.-- Minimal, Nov 30 2005 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 [stumbles around blindly]-- st3f, 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 02 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 random, halfbakery
