Brighten And Define Your Eyes Or Get the Most Natural Change of Color

Do you want to know how you can choose the best natural looking color contact lenses for your eyes?  This depends on your eye and skin color. Choosing a colored contact that looks natural on you will require some care and research. There are now many different types of color lenses available. Each type has its own benefits and different people will respond differently to each type of lens.

Opaque colored contacts  are specially designed for dark eyes.  If you have dark eyes and wish to change your eye color to a lighter hue, opaque lenses are definitely for you.  Natural Touch contact lenses fall in this category, they are conventional lenses, and are very popular since they provide more natural looking color than regular colored contacts. Other options include:

• Durasoft Colors - They are non-disposable lenses that provide realistic color change for the darkest eyes.
• Freshlook Colorblends Opaque - These are monthly disposables that use advanced color technology that blends 3 colors into 1 to create the most natural change of hue.
• Acuvue 2 Colors Opaque - Two week disposable contacts

Enhancer contact lenses are designed for light colored eyes and, as the name implies, they enhance and deepen light colored eyes.  Moreover, if your eyes are light colored, you can also wear  opaque contacts for a dramatic color change.  If you just want to brighten and intensify your eye color, you might want to try Freshlook Dimensions, which is a monthly disposable contact lens.  Best choices for light eyes include:

• Freshlook Color Enhancers - disposable lenses that brighten light eyes and create greater depth and definition.
• Freshlook Radiance - These monthly disposables make your eyes look bright and sparkling without changing eye color.
• Illusions - They are opaque annual replacement lenses that give you a very natural change of hue. For best results choose soft green or soft blue.

Light Filtering lenses do not change eye color and are specially targeted to athletes, sports fans and anyone who loves to play outdoor sports. They protect your eyes by blocking UV sun rays and enhance you sport performance by highlighting your field of vision and the color of the ball, so you can easily track it.  They’re available in amber for fast-moving ball sports and grey-green for golf and running. The only contact lens in this category is Nike Maxsight.

Statistics show that a large majority of people wish they had a different eye color and now contacts make that possible. When deciding what color is right for you, it helps to know if you are choosing for everyday wear or for special occasions.

When deciding which color is right for you, it will require some looking into your own natural eye color as well as your personality and what you want to achieve with your lenses. Here are some guidelines on colors you can choose based on your natural color:

• If your hair, natural eye color and skin have cool undertones and you are bold, outgoing, and want people to notice your new color, you might want to choose a light brown contact lens. If your natural eye color is brown your best choice would be to wear blue, violet or green contacts.

• Do you want people to notice your new color but still look natural?  You should choose a tint that blends well over your own natural color. If your hair, natural eye color and skin have cool undertones and want a more subtle change, you need to choose an enhancer blue lens if your eyes are blue; or you can also opt for green or grey lenses.  If you have warm undertones, choose a hazel lens.

Do You Need a Prescription For Colored Contacts?

Contact lenses in general, are categorized as medical devices and you do need to visit an eye care professional for a prescription, even if you have perfect vision. Since each person’s eyes have different size and shape, you need to be fitted by an eye doctor or you risk serious eye injury. Your eye doctor can help you select the contact lens most appropriate for your eyes.
