[alt.cyberpunk] Mirrored Contact Lenses

mr2t+@andrew.cmu.edu.UUCP (11/18/87)

As an aside-

	I saw a young man in a club once who was wearing mirrored sunglasses,
and removed them when he sat down at his table.  Not being able to see his
face, I wondered at the remarkable effect his gaze was having on people
around him, as they ceased talking almost immediately when he looked their
way.  As he tured toward me I saw the reason why - his irises appeared
unusually large and were mirror-reflective.
	I had an opportunity to speak to him a little later on, and
discovered that his father was an opthamologist in California who had done
work in the motion-picture industry, ergo the lenses he was wearing.  He
confided to me that they were somewhat uncomfortable and cut down on
peripheral vision, but the shock value made it all worthwhile.

I don't remember who, but somebody was asking about where to get a pair
of mirrored contacts....

I know of a company that can get you in touch with a Hollywood FX company
that makes them. But it costs about $300 each contact. The company is called
"Bodyparts" (another makeup company) and is located in Newton, MA.
The phone is (617) 527 0709, ask for a Mr. Rod Atshul.
