Use Coloured Contact Lenses to Enhance Beauty
Wear Colour Contacts, Enhance Natural Beauty of the Eyes
Oct 1, 2009
Anyone can wear coloured contacts even if they do not need them for vision correction. Cosmetic coloured contact lenses on the market today are available in both prescription and plano form, with zero dioptric power, for those with perfect eyesight. Choose from monthly, bi-monthly and even daily disposable lenses, all available at discount prices, to make the most of facial beauty through the eyes.
Although some people are lucky to be born with piercing blue eyes, a good example being Daniel Craig, the latest James Bond, many people have a rather dull eye colour; blue eyes that look almost grey or green eyes that have no sparkle. Celebrities and film stars alike are now using coloured contacts as beauty products both in their work and as part of their personal facial beauty routine.
Colour Enhancing Contact Lenses
The best type of cosmetic contacts are those that enhance natural eye colour rather than completely changing it. This is because colour enhancing lenses, such as the Acuvue Enhancer range from Johnson and Johnson, intensify a person’s natural eye shade to make it more dramatic. The existing shade of the iris can still be seen through the contact lens in the same way as applying a filter on a camera lens. Someone with dull grey-blue eyes can have piercing blue ones, just like James Bond, in an instant, just by inserting a pair of ocean blue contacts.
This type of contact lens works best on light eye shades, where colour change is most intense. People with dark eyes have a more limited choice to enhance their natural beauty and may have to consider an opaque lens instead.
Coloured Contact Lenses that Change Eyes Completely
A person with dark eyes or someone who just wants a completely different look may want to consider wearing opaque coloured contacts that do not allow existing eye colours to come through; simply choose from an array of shades from blue, green, brown through to honey and even mauve. Or be completely daring and opt for a pair of crazy contact lenses that glow in the dark, popular with party goers or those who like to wear fancy dress for special occasions.
Choosing Cosmetic Contact Lenses
Anyone thinking of wearing contact lenses, whether for cosmetic or vision correction purposes, should first visit an eye care professional to have eyes properly tested. Any special conditions such as astigmatism, where the curve of the cornea is irregular, can be identified and the correct specialist lens prescribed. A monthly or bi-monthly disposable lens is a good option to start as the colour may not be suitable or the wearer may experience discomfort or blurred vision from a particular brand of lens.
It is therefore a good idea to buy the first month’s supply directly from your eye care professional to get the right fit and colour match. Then armed with the prescription from your optician, coloured contacts can be sourced at a discount price online. Big brands like Acuvue made by Johnson and Johnson or Freshlook made by Ciba Vision are readily available from many online optical stores with larger discounts available for bulk buys.
