Get the Scoop on Extended Wear Color Contact LensesIf you already wear contacts, you know they can be prescribed for a few different wear schedules. Daily wear contacts are removed each night. Extended wear contacts can be worn overnight for up to 30 days (depends on the brand). The length of wear depends on the brand and soft contact lens material. Super-permeable soft contact lenses made from silicone hydrogel, which allows more oxygen to pass through to the eye can be left in for up to a month. However, discuss with your eye care practitioner the best wear schedule for you. He or she may prescribe extended or continuous wear lenses but still recommend that you remove them nightly for cleaning with a lens care system. Most extended wear contacts are also disposable, which means that after the 30 days are up, you discard them and open a new pair.

So if you want to stick with a new eye color and forget about it, extended wear color contact lenses are the answer. Best selling brands of extended wear color contacts are:
Please note: contact lenses, even if worn for cosmetic reasons, are medical devices that should be worn under the prescription, direction, and supervision of an eye care professional.
