So, If your eyes are too pale and light, you might look at these to give your face and eyes an extra sparkle.

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.

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.

Problems with Toddlers and Childrens eyes
With nearly 25% of children needing some sort of vision correction, parents and teachers are often the first to notice if their kids need some vision help.
So if you have any concerns, maybe bring it up at the next parent meeting and don’t hesitate to talk to your eye doctor as soon as possible.
Pleased to say most of these vision problems can be easily corrected with the best contact lenses or glasses, so it’s important to book an eye exam as soon as you suspect any thing.
- Myopia, or nearsightedness affects distance vision. Your child may be able to read perfectly, but will squint to see distant objects.
- Hyperopia, or farsightedness causes blurred vision at all distances. A farsighted child struggles to focus on any object, whether the item is close up or across the room.
- Astigmatism causes images to blur because light rays don’t focus on the eye properly. Objects that are close-up or far off can be equally distorted.
You’re Eye Doctor or Optician will be able to pick up any problems in the eye exam and help your child with glasses or specify the best contact lenses for the vision difficulty.
Other problems to look out for:
If you recognize some of these symptoms, in a child of any age, make sure you contact your eye doctor or Optician as soon as possible.
Crossed Eyes
This is not an uncommon condition with 20% of children having trouble with their eyes turning in or out independently. Many cases are not picked up till school age, which is a shame as it can be easily treated at an early age
Lazy Eye
If your child’s eye lid appears to be hindering their vision then they may have Amblyopia, which means one eye is becoming stronger than the other. This often leads to a blurring or loss of vision in the weaker or lazy eye. Again easily treated with an temporary eye patch
Milky White Pupil
Often this is noticed at birth and identified as a childhood cataract. Nowadays the condition can be surgically corrected, restoring full eyesight.
Red Eye
If the eyes are red and causing irritation, they may have conjunctivitis, which can be treated with simple eye drops.
None of these problems can be treated with even the best contact lenses, so it’s important to get professional advice as soon as you suspect anything.
