Colored Contacts

Selecting color contact lenses can be tricky. Lenses that look great on one person might look awful in another person’s eyes. How would you choose best color contacts? Here are some tips.

To start, you should know that color contact lenses can be of two types – opaque lenses and enhancement color contacts. Enhancements colors lenses give you eyes a slightly different hue or make your eyes appear brighter and more sparkling. They are only suitable for people with light eyes – blue, green, grey or light brown. These lenses are partially transparent which makes them look very natural.

On the other hand, opaque lenses can completely change your eye color. These lenses are not transparent, so they are ideal for people with dark eyes. If your natural color is brown and you want sky blue eyes, you will need opaque color contacts, enhancements won’t do the job for you. People with light eyes can wear both types of lenses, depending on the effect they want.

Best color contacts to make your natural color brighter

For girls with naturally blue eyes, blue or aqua color contacts work wonders. You may ask why a person with blue eyes would want colored lenses. Because blue enhancement lenses can make a great difference in your appearance. Your eyes are still blue, but they look much brighter and attract attention. My own eyes are blue and I love wearing blue tint color contacts, my favorite is Acuvue 2 colors “Ocean Blue”

For naturally grey eyes blue tints also work very well. The color appears not as intensive blue as over blue eyes, more a blue-grey, but it looks very natural and attractive. Best choices here are Freshlook Dimensions or Acuvue 2 Colors.

Green color contacts look excellent over blue or grey eyes. The change is quite noticeable as jade green is mixed with your natural color.

And to add sparkling to your eyes you can try Freshlook Radiance color contacts. My favorite color is Eden (for blue or grey eyes). Sunrise and autumn colors look very interesting over hazel eyes.

Color contact lenses to change your color compleatly

To change the color of brown eyes dramatically you will need opaque lenses. Best choices are Acuvue 2 Colors opaque, Freshlook Colorblends or Illusions by Ciba Vision

Best colors for women with dark eyes and dark hair are Freshlook Colorblends Sapphire or Amethyst. The change will be dramatic, nobody will miss your new look.

If you have blue or grey eyes, but want to change your color to something completely different, go for honey color contacts. These lenses will make your appear warmer, and you can reinforce the effect by make up in natural colors, with a warm color lipstick.

Safety rules for color contact lens

If you already wear contact lenses to improve your eye sight, you know how to put them in and how to care for them properly. If you only want cosmetic color contacts, ask your doctor about wearing them safely.

Most important rule is that color contact lenses block oxygen supply to your eyes more then clear prescription contacts. In fact the color part doesn’t let any oxygen through. This means that for the health of your eyes you shouldn’t wear your color lenses for longer then 6-8 hours a day. And you should never sleep in them.

Color contacts can transform your face better than any make up. And wearing one color today and another tomorrow is a great fun for adventures girls.

Times have changed. In early days contact lenses were used just to correct the impaired vision. At that time nobody had ever thought if lenses were cosmetic equipments. Well, coming up of the colored contact lenses have changed the whole scenario of the contact lens industry. They have become a fashion rage among all the people and especially with the youngsters.

Now a days, people prefer to match color of their outfit to their eye color by wearing colored non prescribed lenses. Such lenses which primarily serve the purpose of complimenting your looks are termed as cosmetic contact lenses. These lenses have been divided into two broad categories. They are opaque lenses and enhancement lenses. The difference between the two are that while the former are used to give a unique look to your eyes, the latter enhances the original color of your eyes.

Generally you do not need the consultation of an eye specialist for using these lenses. They are very much in demand all over the globe. This has led to their availability on the online stores also. Although these lenses do not pose any threat to your eyes, still it is a better advise that you take proper care of them. If you ever feel a slightest of the discomfort while wearing them, they should be taken off immediately.

Another important thing to note is that you should not go in for the sub standard contact lenses just to save a few chunk of your money. Because these cheap lenses can affect your eyes. Try to stick to good brands and before using them it is better to take advice of your eye care specialist. You should clean these non prescribed contact lenses before and after using them. If your lenses fall in the disposable category, then you should not be using them after their expiry time.

In the category of non prescribed contact lenses, Freshlook and Durasoft are the most sought after brands. There are other good brands also that provide such lenses. So before saying yes to any particular brand, take help of the various consumer reviews. These reviews are unbiased and will guide you well towards the best non prescribed contact lenses at the prices that you can comfortably afford.

If you use contact lenses for vision correction or you use them as a fashion accessory, for safety of your eyes it is important that you take good care of your contact lenses. If you are quite casual in handling your lenses, it can be dangerous for your eyes as it may lead to infections. One of the best options for you can be disposable contact lens.

Disposable Contact Lens can be used daily and disposed off after one single use. These contact lenses are very convenient to use, as they are not be cared of after use. They are to be removed and straight away disposed off. Also it has been seen that the contact lenses are most comfortable when they are used the first time. After that, even after cleaning, they are not very comfortable. The disposable contact lenses always turn out to be comfortable as they are for single use. According the doctors, the disposable contact lenses are the safest choice for lens users.

The disposable contact lenses are convenient as there is no fuss of cleaning the lens before and after the use. Also you save a lot of money, as you do not have to buy contact lens solution for keeping and cleaning the lens.

Many popular brands such as Bausch and Lomb, Acuvue and Ciba Vision offer disposable contact lens. Among Cosmetic Contact Lenses, Freshlook Contact Lens from ciba vision are the most popular ones.

ntacts.html”>costume contacts pictures.

There are also many smaller companies and individual artists,
who offer different designs for costume contact lenses. You can
even get custom made lenses, with any design you like.

Costume contacts safety

You might have heard that Halloween contact lenses can damage
your eyes. You shouldn’t worry; though, because high quality
lenses are absolutely safe; only improper care of them can cause
problems. If you already wear contact lenses for vision
correction, care for costume lenses is absolutely the same as
for ordinary contacts.

If you are new to contact lenses, though, be sure to consult
your eye doctor before you order yourself a pair of costume
contacts. All contact lenses come with instructions on how to
care for them. Be sure to read and follow these instructions -
it isn’t at all difficult.

Here it is, in a nut shell:

• don’t wear your lenses for
  longer than 8 hours and never sleep in them
• only use
  contact lens solution to store and disinfect your lenses, never
  use tap water
• wash your hands before handling your
  contacts
• never wear a lens that is torn
• take
  your costume lenses off if they irritate your eyes
• never give your lenses to other people

How
expensive are theatrical lenses?

A few years ago, costume contacts were a luxury item, costing
several hundred dollars – but not any more! These days, if you
order your theatrical contacts from a reputable online retailer,
you can get an exciting new look for as little as $30-60.

Mass produced costume lenses like Crazy Lenses or Wild Eyes are
the most affordable. Custom made, hand-painted and scleral
lenses are a bit more costly.

Where can I get costume contact lenses?

Leading up to Halloween, you have probably seen these colorful
boxes for sale everywhere – beauty salons, flea markets, even
gas stations. However, it is not a good idea to buy your
theatrical contact lenses from these places. Most of them sell
no-brand costume contacts, so you can’t know where they were
manufactured or from what materials. Remember, the surface of
your eye is very delicate, and using paints that are not
designed for contact lenses (as is the case with the majority of
lenses available on the streets) can damage your eyes.

There are two safe ways to get costume contacts. One is to visit
an eye doctor, get a prescription and order them through your
doctor’s office. Another option is to order your costume lenses
online from trusted contact lens retailers. This way, you can
get the best price. As with most online orders, your contacts
will usually arrive in about a week, so you should place your
order in advance.

Like the idea of costume contacts? They are great fun and, with
so many designs available, you can find a style to match your
costume perfectly.
