The coloured contact lenses available at Vision Direct are super hygienic, safe and comfortable so you can rock a mesmerising look, carefree.
Do coloured contact lenses really harm your eyes? As with any lenses, it's low-quality brands that put your eye health at risk. Going for trusted brands and following your optician's wear and care advice is when coloured lenses are perfectly safe and comfortable.
If you're a 'yes' on any of the above: you're doing it wrong!
When visiting fancy dress shops, or even during a simple online search, it's easy to get lost in the pool of offers for coloured contact lenses, unable to tell what's legit or not.
Choosing trusted and recognized brands like FreshLook or Air Optix will help you avoid the many low-quality products and keep your eyes healthy and comfortable. These lenses are made with materials and technologies that prolong eye health, guaranteeing good levels of hydration and oxygen.
By purchasing these trusted, popular brands, you are taking a big step towards protecting your eyes from infections and irritation. The rest depends on having good contact lens care habits.
Does your child want to complete their Halloween costume with a pair of coloured lenses? Nothing wrong with that - but there are a few important safety measures you should make sure they follow.
Parents should always check with an optician whether their child's eyes are suitable for contact lenses. If the optician does recommend contact lenses, It's important to show children how to follow the important contact lens care and hygiene routines.
But it's imperative to choose your lenses and retailers carefully. The internet is full of low-quality products that can easily harm a child's eyes. Contact lenses that come in unnatural colours and decorative patterns can be really harmful, as they can limit oxygen flow to the eyes.
Put your mind at rest by only choosing lens manufacturers and trusted brands, such as FreshLook or Air Optix for your child.
