Choosing the right coloured contacts for your eyes

Those with lighter shades in their iris, such as blue or soft amber, have potentially the most choice when it comes to picking out coloured contact lenses online. For a dramatic change, try using a Air Optix Colors to swap to a shade totally different from your own. Brilliant Blue or Turqoise shades in particular can really make your eyes pop.

For something a little subtler, try an enhancement contact lens. Rather than swapping the colour of your iris completely, these contact lenses simply highlight and bring out your eyes natural colours. Soflens Natural Colors add light effect patterns to your iris, allowing your eyes to draw more attention without ever going over the top.

For those with darker eyes, such as brown or green, finding contact lenses that really alter your appearance can be a little trickier. We recommend finding an opaque lens that will cover your pupils almost entirely, allowing just your pupil see through.

Even if you have 20/20 vision, you still need to visit the optician before trying on any coloured contact lenses. While you can buy plano lenses that won’t correct your vision, the size and fit of your contacts will need to be accurately measured and prescribed by an optician. Contacts that aren’t properly fitted can quickly become very sore and could even damage your eyes, so it’s important you don’t miss this step.
