Choose Your Level of Color Change with Disposable Color Contacts

Are you looking to peal paint with those steely blues? Do you just want to mix things up a bit...be a little mysterious?

Tune your eye color up or down depending on your mood!

Question: But who here has the time to do THAT? I mean, come on, get over yourself.

Well it's really no big deal, honestly, and not as vain as it sounds. Just go dramatic or go subtle with disposable color contacts.

Disposable colored contacts are inexpensive and easy to try. As long as you have a valid prescription from an eye care professional, and you've had a recent eye exam and contact lens fitting, there's no reason why you can't have a variety of brands and colors in your "closet". Brands like Acuvue and Freshlook offer free trial certificates on their web site so you can easily get a sample pair to try from your eye doctor.

Disposable contacts last between two weeks and one month, depending on your wear schedule. Daily disposables are replaced every day (a great option if you are concerned about cleaning routines and eye health).

To change your eye color completely, try opaque lenses. Opaques use solid color tints in the lens to mask the natural color underneath. To intensify your natural color, try enhancers. These lenses use translucent tints that allow the natural color of your eye to show through. For some reason, manufacturers only make enhancer lenses for light eyes (like blue and green).

Whether you're looking for dramatic color change, a look that pops out, or for color that's just subtly brighter, here's a list of lenses to try:

Dramatic Color Change

Clearly Colors
Acuvue 2 Colors
Freshlook Dimensions on light colored eyes

Medium Color Change

Freshlook Colorblends
Expressions Colors

Subtle Color Change

Impressions Colors
Freshlook Radiance
Allure
Sparkles

What about Long Wearing Lenses?

Long wearing, or vial lenses are unlike disposables in that you wear them for about a year before replacement. They cost more too, and are stored in solution-filled vials rather than blister packs. If you have an eye color that you want to stick with long term (instead of switching around week to week or month to month), then try a vial lens.

Some popular brands to try are:

Durasoft
Illusions
Natural Touch

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.
