What’s Up With Crazy Colored Contacts?

So what is up with changing your eye color anyway? And why all the crazy colors?

You can hit up sites to “try on” an eye color, you choose a model that most looks like you and change their eye color to give you an idea of what you would look like with a new eye color. Colored eye contacts can change even the darkest eye color to a brilliant blue and can just as easily transform those baby blues to liquid brown. The greatest part about it is that your eye color will actually look natural. If you want to stick out go for a contrasting color, something that stands out against your skin tone, for example, if you have dark hair and a bronze skin tone go for blue eyes. Don’t be afraid to be a little dramatic!

On the other hand if you just want to change things up a bit choose something that is close to your natural color but has a little extra, for example, if you have blue eyes try going for a light green. Colored contacts are basically used like any other soft contact, take care of them, keep them clean, dispose of them on your regular schedule and don’t worry the color won’t fade.

Some people will get crazy colored contact lenses for their Halloween costume. It’s a great accessory and a real attention getter since not many people know that they are fairly easy to get. If they were too easy to get, then everyone would have them, right?

Occasionally you may find that the colored part of the lens moves over your eye when you blink, also during the night your pupils get larger and the can grow larger than the clear portion of the contact making it so that your eyesight may be slightly impaired. These are a few of the minor inconveniences you may experience, the cost of changing your eye color. Also make sure and never share your contact lenses with other people! This is not sanitary.

Wide ranges of prescriptions are offered and you can purchase your new eye color at your local participating optometrist’s office. Searching for them online is also fine to do if you have a valid prescription.

Unfortunately for some of us you do need to have a prescription to purchase colored contact lenses or special effects contact lenses even if they are not corrective lenses. You may be able to find colored contact lenses in novelty or beauty stores but these are illegal to sell and are not FDA approved and therefore their may be some risk to wearing them so play it safe and don’t buy knockoff colored contacts, all that to say that those of us who don’t have prescriptions are just plain out of luck and stuck with whatever eye color we’ve got until the FDA changes its mind.
