Robert Pattinson Has Contact Lenses

Twilight star Robert Pattinson is dreading showing up on the set of New Moon. It's not because he doesn't like the role he does it's because the gold contact lenses he has to wear really hurt his eyes.

He tells Britains Ok, magazine Wearing coloured contact lenses It was like I constantly had sand in my eyes. I was wearing them for three months constantly and my eyes never ever accepted them! It took me 20 minutes per eye every single day and I ended up having to literally fold it into my eyeball.

And the star believes the dreaded lenses may inhibit his acting skills because he couldnt properly portray his characters emotions due to the two orange blobs in his eyes. He adds It was frustrating as well because normally your eyes are saying something, but if you got two orange blobs in your face its so annoying.

The director would say, Look at her like you love her, and I'd be like I m trying. I m going to have to do it again because were making the sequel next year.

Pattinson doesn't seem like a diva to us, so well take him at his word. Contact lenses should not hurt at all even the exotic kind and that fact that he;s so uncomfortable leads us to the conclusion that the studio needs to get an opthamologist and an optometrist on the set stat. After all if Pattinson injures his eyes, the studio will really be in a mess.

The whole thing is silly anyway. If they can spend millions reducing the size of Drew Barrymores rear end in Charlies Angels, they could certainly CGI in some cool looking vampire eyes for Edward Cullen in post production.
