Choosing your contact colour lenses 

Published by admin under contact colour lenses

  

The best contact colour lenses use the latest technology to give you a natural look by merging different colours that create a unique tint and depth of colour to your eyes.

So if you wanted to change your natural eye colour, you should choose an opaque lens which comes in a great range of different colours. You can still see clearly through the contacts, but the tints completely change the colour of your eyes.

For light coloured eyes you can look at a tint to enhance and define your eye; as these lenses are designed to brighten your natural eye colour with out changing it

And remember to insert your colored contacts before applying your eye color and mascara. If you have sensitive eyes, then use special makeup for use with contact lenses.

So the options are endless with the best colored contacts having over 30 tints and shades in their extensive ranges.

Something for everyone, even if you have perfect 20/20 vision, as you can still get contact colour lenses, but as always you do need an eye exam, so please make a visit to your eye doctor, as colour contacts are made specifically to fit your eyes.

And don’t share your contact lenses with anyone! All contact lenses are medical devices that must only be worn under prescription. Please be careful as serious eye health problems may occur as a result of sharing contact lenses.

If you have other vision needs then contact colour lenses are still available; and you can use your current prescription to buy online  

All the best contact colour lenses come with great value options ranging from daily disposables where you can purchase 1-2 different colours to try them out, through to extended wear lenses; and they are all freely available on the internet.

Contact colour lenses

Published by admin under contact colour lenses

When you’re wearing colour lenses, nothing matters more on a night out, than looking good and feeling comfortable.

Most of the best contact colour lenses use the latest wetting technologies to make sure your lenses feel really comfortable in dry, hot environments.  

This all centers around the wetability of the lens which gives it that smooth, silky feeling. Solutions can also help, but many of the best lenses have it built-in as part of the lens material. 

This same lens material also ensures that the critical oxygen, for white eye health, reaches your eye almost 100% of the time. So look out for this when choosing contact colour lenses as it means you eyes will feel fresh and comfortable at all times. 

When you are ready to choose, remember they are available in two main types: Enhancement and Opaque color tints. And you can of course also buy colour contacts if you have astigmatism or need multifocal lenses.

In short, an Enhancement tint improves the existing color of your eyes and makes them more intense. While an Opaque tint changes your eye color completely.

So to choose the right colour ask your self;

Do I like being the centre of attention?

If you do then you need a colour that everyone notices, such as violet, green or blue if you’re natural eye colour is brown. And if your skin is dark, you might choose bright-colored lenses.

If you have a quieter personality and want a more natural look, then you should consider gray or green if your natural eye colour is blue

Remember you can also get daily disposables, that are available on great deals, which means a whole range of different contact colour lenses at very little cost

Wearing Contact Colour Lenses

Published by admin under contact colour lenses

 Colour lenses don’t always change your vision: only the appearance of your eyes. They are a fashion item and are available in a wide range of colours, patterns and looks.

  • Like normal contacts, they are soft plastic lenses that sit on the surface of the eye and can damage the surface if they are not properly fitted or used correctly. Most require daily cleaning and many can’t be left in the eye for long periods.

So if you buy some novelty or contact colour lenses, you need to follow these basic rules for your eye health and safety.

Not everyone can wear contact lenses, which means an eye doctor needs to check the shape and size of your eye to determine whether you can wear novelty contact lenses and what type.

  • Always get a proper prescription from your eye doctor, even of you don’t normally wear contacts
  • Do not wear contact colour lenses for long periods of time.
  • Do not leave your lenses in while you sleep.
  • Never share your lenses or borrow a friend’s lenses – you risk a serious infection, which can cause vision loss.
  • Wash, rinse and dry your hands every time before you touch your lenses.
  • Always put your lenses in before applying make-up and take them out before removing make-up.
What can go wrong?
  • Your eyes are very sensitive and any infection in the eye can develop very quickly increasing the risk of vision loss.
  • If they are left in too long the surface of the eye can become starved of oxygen, and an ulcer can develop, increasing the risk of infection.
  • If a contact colour lens doesn’t fit your eye properly it can scratch the surface of the eye and cause injury or infection.

If your eyes become red, irritated, sore or your vision changes while wearing your lenses, take them out straight away and visit your eye doctor.

  • There have been a number of cases where people have left novelty lenses in overnight or shared them with friends and they developed permanent damage to their eyes.
Cleaning and storing contact colour lenses
  • Novelty contact lenses need to be cleaned, rinsed and disinfected after every use – just like sight-changing contact lenses.
  • Never ever use saliva to wet your lenses or put the lenses in your mouth. Saliva carries germs.
  • Use only a proper contact lens solution recommended by an optometrist for cleaning and lubricating your lenses. These cleaning solutions are available from your optometrist or local pharmacy.

Wearing contact colour lenses can be fun and make your eyes look very different for a while. Wearing them without proper advice and handling can make a difference to your health for a lot longer and that’s not fun!
