Cut Me In Half

Even though the headline is entirely accurate, color contacts can do more than this. They can strengthen your personality and make you feel more comfortable in various situations. And they can be a good fun!

How to choose the right color contacts?

Firstly, why even choose color contacts over regular contacts in the first place? Well, they can be used by everyone – regardless if you have poor vision or not. If you’re not suffering from any form of vision loss, the lenses have a small opening ensuring they won’t disturb your vision in any way. If you, on the other hand, have poor vision, then simply order colored or novelty contacts with a prescription that will help correct your eye disorder as well as add some extra color and flair into your life.

So, when it comes to colored lenses, it’s a not just matter of correcting your vision, it’s also about taste and appearance. If you’re fashion-conscious, slightly curious, or just playfully stylish, color contacts add that little dose of individualism or flamboyance to your everyday appearance.

Anything else you should know?

The two most commonly available types of color contacts are opaque and tinted. Opaque lenses are perfect for those wanting to change their eye color completely, while tinted contacts keep a portion of your natural color in place, thus allowing those with lighter eyes to enhance their eye color.
Remember, just as with regular contact lenses, colored contacts require strict maintenance and cleaning. This is extremely important to remember each and every day as the risk of infection can be serious of cleaning is overlooked. Have a look at this recent article on CNN Money about the FDA panel wanting stricter labeling and testing standards for contact lens solutions – apparently 80% of all the problems with contact lenses result from users not following the instructions properly. Keep that in mind when purchasing any contact lenses in the future!
