Colored Contacts

Colored Contacts are soft contact lenses made for cosmetic purposes. They are available in a wide range of colors with different levels of opacity to enhance or completely alter your natural eye color. Like regular contact lenses, you should follow the instructions for care as prescribed by your doctor. This includes washing your hands, using contact lens solution, and keeping your contacts fresh.

Whether they’re used for cosmetic reasons or to complete a costume, colored contact lenses can be a fun way to switch up your look. Many people are surprised at how they can change their appearance with these easy-to-use accessories. They’re a great way to add extra flare to your outfit and can provide you with the confidence boost you’ve been looking for.

Daring Dramatics: Sclera Contacts for Intense Eye Effects

Most colored contact lenses are made with a clear center, called the pupillary border, which allows you to see clearly through the lens. The rest of the lens has a tint, which can be either semi-opaque or opaque. Semi-opaque tints enhance your natural eye color while opaque tints mask it more.

Some manufacturers also make colored contacts with a limbal ring to make the iris appear more defined. This may help make the eyes look bigger and more defined in photos or videos.

Regardless of the type or tint, all colored contact lenses are considered medical devices and must be properly fitted and prescribed by an eye care professional (ECP). While there are low-quality cosmetic and Halloween lenses that can be bought online or at some beauty supply stores without a prescription, these lenses can contain harmful paints, rough surfaces, and chlorine not intended for the eye. If worn improperly, these contacts can cause serious damage to the eye within hours.
