Colored contact lenses are a fun and stylish way to switch up your look, whether you're going for a subtle enhancement or a bold change. Here's a simple guide to help you pick the perfect pair and wear them safely and comfortably this summer.


How to Choose the Right Colored Contact Lenses

Types of Tints:


Opaque Tint: Completely changes your eye color, perfect for dark eyes.

Enhancement Tint: Enhances your natural eye color, best for light eyes.

Visibility Tint: Lightly tinted to help you see the lens during handling, does not change eye color.

Match Your Natural Features:


Light Eyes: Enhancement tints like blue, green, and gray can make your natural color pop.

Dark Eyes: Opaque tints like hazel, violet, and sapphire can create a striking new look.

Consider Your Skin Tone:


Cool Skin Tones: Colors like blue, gray, or green work well.

Warm Skin Tones: Hazel, brown, or honey colors complement beautifully.

Get a Prescription:


Even if you don't need vision correction, a prescription ensures the lenses fit properly and are safe to use.

Wearing Colored Contact Lenses Safely

Practice Good Hygiene:


Always wash your hands before handling lenses.

Use the recommended contact lens solution for cleaning and storing your lenses.

Follow Replacement Schedules:


Stick to the replacement schedule (daily, bi-weekly, or monthly) to avoid eye infections.

Avoid Water Exposure:


Remove lenses before swimming or showering to prevent contamination.

Stay Comfortable:


Use rewetting drops if your eyes feel dry or irritated. Choose lenses that are breathable and have a high water content.
