events. The contact lenses are good for one year, at $139 a pair. The

choices in scary eye looks are White-Out, Cat Eye, Wild Fire, Red

Hot, Ice Fire, Hypnotica, Knockout, Zoomin and Alien. On the other

end of the spectrum, you can find designer frames including Maui Jim,

Nike, Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Guess?, Nautica, Tommy Hilfiger, DKNY

and Ellen Tracy. And for the 13-to-19 set there are Candies Eyes and

Bongo; and for younger kids there are Mickey Mouse and Snoopy frames.
