Change Eye Color With Cosmetic Colored Contact Lenses

Ever have a halloween costume that would become perfect with contact lenses that change the color of your eyes? Or maybe you just want to mix things up and have a new and different exciting eye color! You wouldn’t be alone thinking about new eye colors. Many people each year do the same thing and turn to cosmetic contact lenses to change the color of their eyes.

Cosmetic contact lenses are pretty self-explanatory. They are contact lenses that sit of the surface of the eye. The center of the lens is transparent or has prescription to allow you to see. The periphery of the contact lens (the part which overlays your iris) is colored in. When the contact lens sits on the surface of the eye, it looks like your eyes are the color of the contact lens. It works pretty well! It’s hard to notice unless you get close to the contact lens or you know what to look for.

But cosmetic contact lenses are dangerous! They are dangerous because most commonly people don’t treat them like real contact lenses. Frequently people buy cosmetic contact lenses without a prescription and don’t take the necessary precautions to keep the contact lens clean. As a result, damage or infections can occur.

Cosmetic contact lenses can be safe! It is very important to see an eye doctor and get a prescription for any sort of contact lenses. This includes cosmetic contact lenses. An eye specialist can ensure that you get an appropriate fit of the contact lens and provide instruction on the best way to take care of the contact lens to prevent infection.

By taking simple steps to ensure safety, you can have the eyes you’ve dreamed of or the perfect halloween costume!
