Contact lenses for fashion

Maybe you're dying to flash some baby blues but all you've got is beautiful browns, or you're ready to take a break from hazel to go dark amber with your eyes. When it comes to changing your eye color, fashion contacts might be exactly what you need.

Embracing fashion trends with contact lenses 

Fashion contacts provide a new way to alter your appearance. You can go subtle with a slight shade shift or make a splash with vibrant patterns and designs.

Introduction to fashion contact lenses 

Contact lenses for fashion are designed as trendy accessories, not for vision correction, but you can get colored contacts with your prescription included. Fashion contacts come in natural shades, including blue, green and brown, as well as fantasy colors or designs. There's no need to worry about turning the world green or living with perpetually amber-hued eyesight. The color is deposited around the center, leaving the pupil area clear, so the pigments don't affect your vision.

Latest color trends 

Colored contacts that enhance your natural eye color are a perpetually popular option, especially since they often leave onlookers wondering if your eyes are naturally that bright or intense. 

Contacts designed for cosplay have become increasingly in demand, so if you've always wanted to have cat-like pupils or violet eyes resembling those of your favorite comic book heroine, now is the time.

Customization and personal expression 

Wearing fashion contact lenses gives you a new way to express your personal style. Change your eye color on a whim with contacts that emphasize your mood or make colored contacts a regular accessory that disguises your original color when you wear them every day.

Choosing the right fashion contacts 

When it comes to choosing fashion contacts, consider how you plan to wear them. Options vary depending on whether you plan to use your colored contacts daily or only on special occasions. 

Daily vs. monthly options 

Contact lenses designed for fashion aren't made for overnight use, so you need to remove them each evening. Some styles are disposable, designed to be used once and thrown away. Others are safe for use multiple times as long as you properly clean and store them between uses and dispose of them after their expiration date. 

Prescription and non-prescription varieties 

If you already have a prescription for daily prescription contact lenses, you may be able to get fashion contacts with your prescription. Non-prescription fashion contact lenses are designed for people who don't require vision correction. Some colored contact lenses are available in both prescription and non-prescription options.

Material and comfort 

Fashion contacts are often made from newer high-tech materials, such as silicone hydrogel. These materials are designed for breathability, which helps prevent dryness and makes the lenses more comfortable for long-term wear. 

Caring for fashion contact lenses 

Proper contact lens care keeps your lenses in good shape and your eyes happy. Like prescription contacts, fashion contacts designed for multi-day use should be cleaned daily, so don't forget this step in your post-party decompression plans. 

Proper cleaning and maintenance 

Cosmetic contact lenses need to be removed at night and cleaned using an appropriate contact lens solution. Daily contacts are designed for one-day use, so you can simply toss the pair you wore and put in a new pair each morning. 

Duration of use and replacement 

Depending on the type of contacts you wear, you may need to dispose of your lenses daily, monthly, or on a specified timeframe listed on the packaging. Replacing lenses as recommended helps prevent eye irritation and infections.
