Take Care of Coloured Contact Lenses in 3 Easy Steps

A simple and enjoyable approach to changing the way you look is by using coloured contact lenses. The ideal pair of coloured contacts can be easy to find and is dependent on whether you desire a subtle alteration or a significant one.

Remember that contact lenses are a medical device, and using them requires you to take the right precautions to protect your eyes. In the unlikely event, your eyes might be harmed by colour lenses. For this reason, you should only get lenses from a trusted retailer.

To care for coloured contact lenses, follow our 3 easy instructions:

Step 1: Pick Coloured Contact Lenses

The abundance of options when selecting coloured contact lenses can be intimidating for customers. After a quick Google search, customers can find endless options of colour lenses and lens retailers. But before you even begin, ask yourself a few straightforward questions to narrow down your findings.

The first thing to think about is whether you require corrective contact lenses. Coloured contacts can serve a secondary purpose if you already use corrective lenses. They have the additional benefit of giving you a fresh appearance in addition to correcting your vision.

All of those lenses are also offered in power 0.0. Therefore, even those who don't require corrective glasses can benefit from using them.

Which Sort of Look?

Next, think about the sort of appearance you want to attain. There are two types of colour contact lenses, normal colour contact lenses and circle contact lenses. The difference is that normal colour contact lenses provide a colour tint to change the colour of your eyes while circle contact lenses include an enhancement tint with a circular outline along the rim of the lenses to make your eyes look bigger and more defined. Both lenses are coloured, but serve as different purposes. Please note that colour lens results vary depending on the person’s natural eye colours.

If you want to enhance naturally dark eyes, then circle lenses are wonderful for enhancing the brilliance of your eye colour. We highly recommend Qieto1day Color which are circle contact lenses for a more subtle and natural look. These circle lenses will brighten and make your eyes stand out and look more defined!

Johnson & Johnson's 1-Day Acuvue Define lenses are also popular circle contact lens options if you are looking for more expressive eye effects. These lenses will draw attention to your iris' edges because they are also circle contact lenses. They alter the natural pattern and translucency that is already in your eyes. They are also offered as daily disposables. At the end of each day, you may dispose of them, negating the need to clean and keep them.

If you’re looking for an enhancement tint with normal colour lenses, we recommend FreshLook One-Day! This tint subtly enhances your natural eye colour, giving it a boost of vibrancy. These tints work wonderfully for individuals with light-coloured eyes.

You may also think about using coloured contacts that filter light. For athletes and painters in particular, this function can help these contacts enhance colour vision. Light-filtering glasses are additionally useful for treating migraines. Hazardous blue and violet light is refracted by them. If you intend to use this type of lenses, please consult with an eye specialist.

What to Avoid?

The lenses used for costumes, plays, and special effects are opaque. They are frequently seen on stage and in movies, especially around Halloween. There can be lots of crazy colourful extravagant styles for Halloween contacts, but at Quicklens, we sell mainly circle and colour contact lenses.

As you know, contact lenses are categorised as a medical device. Therefore, you should only purchase from retailers with a trustworthy reputation. Here at Quicklens, we’ve been selling many industry-leading brands including Cooper Vision, Acuvue, Bausch+Lomb etc., for over 20 years to 4.6 million customers from our group of companies.

Don't jeopardise your vision. Avoid purchasing costume contacts from any retail establishment that does not specialise in contact lenses.

Another tip we recommend is to avoid certain types of colour lenses which do not have high oxygen permeability. If oxygen cannot easily enter the eye with these lenses, this may result in eyesight loss and lasting harm. Some materials used to make colour lenses for dressing up might scratch the cornea. Red eyes can develop from injuries caused by contact lenses. If it evolves into a bacterial infection, it could potentially cause blindness and can be quite serious.

Step 2: Ensure the Proper Fit

The next step is to get your coloured contact lenses fitted after you've decided on the type you want. The cornea's curvature must be properly matched by the lenses. To determine your eyes' exact shape, an eye specialist will use a device called a keratometer. Additionally, they will assess the general condition of your corneas and tear films. They can guarantee your lenses are comfortable with this method.

Your eye doctor will check the fit of the lenses and your visual acuity after inserting them into your eyes. You're free to depart if all goes according to plan. A follow-up visit is required after 4 to 6 weeks.

Step 3: Care for Coloured Contact Lenses

Contact lenses can damage your eyes if not handled properly. They have the ability to exacerbate allergic responses or allergy symptoms brought on by irritants like pollen, dogs, and other things. If the protein buildup on the lenses is not removed, it might result in an infection in your eyes.

Lack of proper contact lens care is by far the most prevalent cause of eye infections. But it is possible to replace negative habits with positive ones. Here are some care recommendations to keep in mind for your coloured contact lenses:

Never wear contact lenses past their expiration date, whether they are monthly, weekly, or daily.
Also, remember to use antibacterial soap to wash your hands at all times. And before inserting your contact lenses, make sure to dry your hands with a lint-free cloth.

Before putting the lenses in, clean the lenses with contact lens solution. the exception being daily disposables. In such instances, they are usable right out of the box.

Putting in lenses might be unpleasant at first. However, they shouldn't ever be uncomfortable, make your eyes red, or obstruct your vision. Remove the lenses as soon as any of these problems appear.

Always put on cosmetics after inserting your lenses. Use eye drops only if your optometrist has authorised them. If anything foreign gets into your eye, flush it out with eye drops rather than water. Infectious viruses and tiny bacteria can be found in water and can cause eye infections. You must preserve your lenses properly if they aren't disposable. After taking out your lenses, clean them, put them in a clean contact lens case, and add fresh solution to it.

Regardless of the colour you pick, your eyes will remain clear and brilliant if you follow our easy 3-step care guide.
