In order to make the contact lens glow, a thin layer of glowing material is added to the surface alongside the color effect. The colors usually range from neon green to light pink and some are just too creative, different designs can be customized as per customer request.
Contact lenses that have a glowing effect can be easily acquired and no prescription is needed. Anyone can purchase at any store or specialty website.
