Contact lenses have been a regular part of people’s lives for many years now and no one is surprised when you pop your lenses out at night. On the other hand, colored contact lenses are a more mysterious thing, with many initially surmising that they are extremely expensive and only for the very rich.
This is a common fallacy — colored lenses are in fact very affordable and can be used in a variety of ways — from simply enhancing your look, changing your look or even as part of fancy dress!
Colored contact lenses allow you to change your eye color and create a look that is subtle, bold or anywhere in between — whether you want to enhance your everyday look or rock a crazy design for Halloween and other special occasions.
There are two main type of contact lens with colour — prescription and plain. The prescriptive contact lens can correct nearsightedness (myopia) as well as farsightedness (hyperopia) as well as providing you with a colour of your choosing. On the other hand, the plain color contacts do not alter your vision and simply provide you with a different colour.
A colored lens works by imitating the look of the iris ( the colored part of the eye ) If you take a look at your own eye you will note that instead of simply being a block of colour, your iris consists of a variety of colours and lines and various colours as well as dots and small patches of shape. The more the colored lens replicates this variety the more natural the lens will look.
When choosing the color of your lens, you need to look at your skin tone as well as your hair colour. Although you are welcome to choose as per your choice, in general blue, green or violent suits blond hair most as the lighter hair emphasises the eyes.
Green eyes complement red hair. The deeper the red hair the brighter the green, with the lighter shades of hair suiting the deeper green tones.
For brown hair, hazel or brown lens will give a natural look with a contrasting blue or green also being effective. Black hair suits all eye colors, so simply choose according to your desire.
Overall, colored lenses are a great way to change or enhance your look. Whether going for something that will simply bring an extra sparkle to your eyes or give you a more startling contrast and a special something, colored lenses are a great inexpensive way to change your look today.
