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
