National flag contact lenses are contact lenses which are worn for non-corrective purposes. They do not have any corrective capability. They are cosmetic contact lenses that are worn for the dramatic effect. National flag contact lenses are worn by people who want to complete a outfit theme or express their patriotism. People who wear these kind of novelty contact lenses wear them for whimsical or because they want to make some kind of statement. What a perfect way to complete a costume for a party. The contact lenses have the flag of a country on them. They are available with the flags of Austria, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland and the flags are clearly obvious on the eyes of the wearer.

These special effects contact lenses are made of a material called Hema with 42 percent water content. They have a diameter of 14.0 mm and are 0.12 mm thick at their center. The visible light transmission capability is 93 percent with a refractive index of 1.347. There is a clear spot in the center for the individual to see through but they still interfere somewhat with the wearer's vision. They provide protection from ultra-violet rays.

Like all contact lenses, these contact lenses require some care to promote comfort and to prevent infection. The contact lenses must be disinfected and cleaned to prevent the development of protein deposits. Protein deposits result from the normal secretions of the eye and result in scratchy feeling from the contact lenses if they are not cleaned. Proper care will result in healthier eyes and more comfortable contact lenses. They are a variety of cleaning solutions available on the market and many users prefer the non rub version to minimize handling the contact lenses. Even contact lenses used for cosmetic purposes must be cleaned and the wearer should be sure to follow whatever instructions come with the contact lenses.
