In recent years, fashionable eyewear has certainly taken a huge leap in popularity, particularly among the younger crowd. Contact lenses were once prescription glasses gone inconspicuous; but now it seems like contact lenses are becoming more and more prominent, especially with color contacts. It is now commonplace to find a friend or acquaintance sporting a new eye color. Even Halloween costume sets now offer color contact lenses for added drama.
Aside from being fashionable, another element that is making color contacts very popular is its price. There are some inexpensive brands in the market that are proven safe to use, and younger people favor these (especially the disposable ones) as opposed to the framed glasses which seems very hard to maintain in its pristine condition. Just ask any kid with glasses!
There are a lot of companies offering color contact lenses. However, for those of you looking into viable options, there is one thing that we greatly recommend: do not go for cheap, unbranded contact lenses, especially the ones that offer you bulk deliveries (by sets of 20’s or more.) There will be no documentation to prove that these lenses are actually safe to use on human eyes; and if you have vision problems in the first place, these cheap, unbranded lenses may do your eyes more damage.
A good solution to this is to head on out to your local optician or any eye “clinic” offering eyewear and contact lenses. You may be looking into color contact lenses for fashion’s sake, but the optician could certainly offer you safer choices than those being touted by fly-by-night companies. Also, if you already have a prior eye condition, the optician will (hopefully) stir you into some of the ones that can even remedy your eye problem whilst making you look cool at the same time. Prescription contact lenses, by the way, would need a prescription from your optometrist or eye doctor.
You would need an optician approved set of contacts, especially if you have every intention of wearing your color contacts for most of the day. Halloween color contacts can be worn for a short amount of time, and some of these begin to burn even just after a couple of minutes. A gentler pair of contacts can help you go about your daily routine with as little fuss as possible.
So what color contact lenses should you acquire? Well, that is basically up to you. If you are worried about which color will suit you, you can always ask the optician (or your friends or family members) for recommendations. However, the color shade that is closest to your natural eye color is always the best. If you prefer an altogether different look, you may want to go darker (if you have light eye color); or lighter (if you have the opposite); or totally way out there. There are some color contact lens companies that are offering specialty lenses with unique designs and colors. Certainly, having a set of puma eyes can call attention to yourself, if that is your intention in the first place.
