The world of contact lenses is exciting. A well-fitted lens with an electrifying tint can change your appearance considerably. With a bat of your eye, you can flash green, gold, or blue eyes that will match your mood or even your outfit. However, for a newbie, finding the right colored contact lenses and manufacturer can be tough. You’ve come to the right place though, here is what you have to do.
Decide on the type of colored contact lenses:
a. Plano colored lenses are usually stock lenses that are used with costumes or in the acting industry. They do not actually have a prescription but are only used for cosmetic purposed.
b. Enhancement tints are mildly colored. These are perfect for light colored eyes. They do not dramatically change the color of the eyes, but they enhance the natural eye color and really make them pop. For example, blue-eyed people can choose lavender or blue-green lenses to make their eye colors much more vibrant.
c. Opaque tints are designed to completely change your eye color. If you have dark eyes, an opaque blue tint can dramatically change the color of your eyes. You will find several colors available in readymade options.
Cost: If you are planning to wear your colored contact lenses regularly, it’s a far better idea to get custom-made lenses. However, OTC lenses are cheaper and available in a range of colors. If you just need the lenses for a few occasions, it’s a far better idea to buy OTC lenses.
Lens type: Rigid gas permeable lenses are extremely affordable, but they can be uncomfortable. They also require regular follow up care to ensure a good fit. Extended wear lenses can be worn for anywhere from 7 days to 30 days and are very comfortable. Extended wear disposable lenses are also available in tints and in bifocal fits as well. They are difficult to handle and vision may not be perfect. Soft daily wear colored contact lenses are perfect for daily wear. You can find daily wear or even single use disposable lenses. These provide the best fit and are extremely comfortable. We recommend you contact a physician to find the best type for your requirements.
Colored contacts are a fun way to jazz up your look. However, we do recommend you buy the best quality lenses to prevent eye infections. Use them exactly as prescribed and you should be ok.
