Coloured Contact Lenses - Choose the Best for Your Eyes

The things most associated with an image makeover are a new hairstyle and new wardrobe. However, most often, a new eye colour also renews the entire image and personality of a person.

You can use colored contact lenses regardless of any vision correction purpose. Moreover, it is important to choose colored contacts that suit your eyes for enhancing your appearance.

Following are some important tips that will help you in choosing the best color contacts lenses, which are suitable for your eyes:

1. First, get a prescription from an optometrist for the coloured contact lenses. Prescription is a must to purchase any types of lenses whether corrective or non-corrective, coloured or non-coloured. As a result, you will also get an eye examination done.
2. Decide for the colour options with regard to your personality, hair colour and skin tone before undergoing the eye examination. The doctor will also help you with this decision after the eye examination.
3. Review all the available contact lens brands and the various coloured contact lens types used in altering or enhancing eye colour.
4. For dark eyes, select colour tint and opaque lenses for completely changing the colour of your eyes. For a slight colour change, choose coloured contacts having a natural shade or tint like hazel instead of lavender or grey. The other mainly available colour shades are green, blue and dark brown.
5. For eyes with light colour, choose the coloured contact lenses with an enhancement tint. This is because enhancement tint enhances the original and natural colour of your eyes. For instance, a person having blue coloured eyes can select an enhancement tint of royal blue colour for a stronger eye colour shade.
6. Coloured contacts come in two wear options, which are permanent and disposable. Disposable coloured contacts are cheaper and last for a month. They are good if you want to try many coloured contacts before selecting one.
