Colored Contacts

Change Your Appearance With Colored Contacts

If you wear contact lenses, you should know that there are alternatives to just the boring clear ones. You can actually get colored contact lenses that will make your eyes appear a different color. If you have brown eyes and have always wanted blue eyes, all you do is pop in the blue colored contact lenses and there you go. Colored contact lenses aren't just for those who need vision correction, either. Even if you don't need to wear contacts or glasses, you can still get colored contacts that will change the color of your eyes without affecting your vision one bit. For the latter, you can order them off the internet or at your local eye doctor's office. However, if you need to wear contacts for vision correction, there are a few things you need to consider.

Ask Your Doctor

If you already wear contact lenses and you're interested in the colored ones, make an appointment with your eye doctor to discuss this option. The colored contacts will likely be a little more expensive than your normal prescription but it's worth it if you really want different colored eyes. There are certain circumstances where you may not be able to wear colored contacts, however, and that's why you should discuss this with your doctor before you buy them.

Certain Circumstances

Your doctor may not want you to wear colored contacts if you need contacts for vision correction if you have astigmatism. That's because the contacts must rest on your eyes just right if you hope to benefit from wearing them. However, they may make colored contacts for people with astigmatism so ask your doctor about this.

Try Them First

It's recommended that you try a pair of colored contacts first before you buy them. Some people end up not liking how their eyes look with colored contacts. If they're expensive and you don't end up liking them, you're going to be out a bunch of money for nothing. Your doctor may have a sample pair on hand so ask for these before you make a big purchase.

Change Your Appearance

When you're happy with your colored contacts, you can change your appearance at will. You can change the color of your eyes just like you'd change your clothes or shoes. It's very freeing and it really makes your eyes stand out. So get a pair of colored contacts and see how you like them.
