Colored Contact Lens

By Christopher Chase

Having decided to embark on the exciting journey of having colored contact lenses, one of the first things that you will want to know is what colors are available to suit your eyes. Of course, the colored contact lenses that you choose will depend largely on your desired effect.

Colored Contact Lenses – The Basics

Before you get down to choosing the actual individual colors, you will want to consider certain broader issues. Colored contact lenses come in a wide variety of colors and subtlety.

For example, do you want to want to change your eye color, dramatically, or do you simply want to enhance your natural color, in a subtle way? Do you plan on wearing these colored contact lenses on a daily basis or are you looking more at a one-off party wear?

All of these factors are vital when it comes to choosing your colored contacts and will help make sure that you make the right decision, first time.

Blue Colored Contacts

Blue colored contacts are arguably the most popular shade of color when it comes to colored contact lenses. Blue colored contacts are available in a wide range of shades, including bright blue, turquoise and light baby blue colored contacts. Blue colored contacts are particularly popular with celebrities such as Paris Hilton.

Yellow Colored Contacts

Yellow colored contacts are more commonly associated with special effect colored contact lenses such as cats' eyes, although they are also available in more subtle shades such as 'autumn'.

Remember that colored contact lenses often look very different when they are being worn compared with on a color chart. So, it is always advisable to have a trial pair fitted by a professional to ensure that you get the correct fit and color.

Colored contacts are a cheap and easy way of dramatically changing your looks. Feel free to experiment as much as you want, but remember, never share colored contact lenses and keep your prescription up to date.
