Though many years have passed since Star Trek appeared on TV screens for the first time, the show is still immensely popular and has millions of devoted fans around the world. Now, thanks to the availability of high quality coloured contact lenses, they may recreate the look of their favourite characters.
Among the non-human members of the crew of USS Enterprise, the android Data – with his pale, yellowish eyes – is probably chosen the most often when a male Trekkie looks for a Halloween costume. Popular opinion suggests that the best way to copy the Data look is to use whiteout contact lenses, very similar to the ones worn by Brent Spiner in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
When it comes to female characters, Deanna Troi appears to be a good choice. And it is not difficult to find contact lenses that look almost the same as the lenses used on the show, as practically all manufacturers offer black contact lenses, giving the eye an intriguing appearance.
