Wondering about the price to look beautiful and waited for your eyes to speak with colours? While it may seem impossible, there answer is YES! Through coloured contact lenses you have blue eyes and your friend may see with green eyes.
It is like a magic with the ability to transform them into green or attractive blue in an instant. But your eyes are one of the most delicate organs in your body and hence, a lot of consideration will have to go into coloured contacts before you pick them.

Talk to your doctor

Firstly, your doctor needs to prescribe even before you even buy cosmetic Plano lenses. Plano lenses are those which have no power and will not enhance your vision in any way. Plano lenses could cause injury if worn without a doctor’s prescription.

While there are many companies which will allow you to buy contacts on your own, it is neither advisable nor safe. Moreover, it becomes imperative to do this if you already have an issue with your vision.

Choose the right colour

Once you have planned to buy lenses, you will start wondering about the colour. This is a matter of personal choice and may depend upon how dramatic you want the effect to be. Just as with hairstyles and hair colours, there are certain colours which might suit you better.

For typical Indian “wheatish” complexion, brighter colours like deep purple or aquamarine are suitable. Don’t forget to check that your eye-shadow, eye-liner and other makeup should complement the colour of your lenses. If you want the lenses to stand out, choose a colour that contrasts your makeup shades.

Lenses last?

These days there are a variety of lenses in terms of longevity to choose from. Longer lasting ones can be used for up to 180 days, if you are regular with your lens care regime. Single use, disposable lenses have also been introduced since March 2006. Such lenses are ideal if you are going to use them only on special occasions and not on a regular basis.

Caring for your lenses

You will have to tend to your coloured contact lenses in the same way that you do with your plain contacts. Take adequate care of them since you are exposing your delicate eyes to them. Not only will this increase durability, but it will also protect your eyes from infections. If you experience any reddening of the eyes, blurring of vision, etc., you may need to consult your doctor. Sharing of your contact lenses with others is an absolute no.

Select lenses of accurate sizes, to prevent them from sliding off your eyes. This could happen sometimes, when you blink too much for instance. Another risk is that during the night or in other varying light conditions, the presence of contact lenses may mar your vision slightly. This is because our eyes adjust differently to different intensities of light. Hence avoid wearing lenses in darkness or bright sunlight.
