How To Choose The Best Color Contact Lenses

[xikom03]

Decided to change your eye color with colored contacts and don't know
which ones to choose? Find out what the color contacts market has to
offer and which lenses will make your eyes look most striking and
beautiful.

Color contact lens types

You can get disposable (1 day, 2 weeks or 1 month replacement
schedule) color contact lenses as well as traditional (annual
replacement) lenses. Each type has its advantages and disadvantages.

Disposable lenses are healthier for your eyes. First, they are thinner
so the lens lets more oxygen through to your cornea. Second, protein
build-ups are less of a problem with disposable contact lenses - it
doesn't have enough time to build up. And third, if you replace your
contact lenses often, the risk of bacterial infection is much less. So
from the health point of view, disposable color contacts like
Freshlook or Acuvue 2 Colors are better. Disposable color lenses are
especially recommended if you want to wear your color contacts every
day for longer than 8 hours.

On the other hand, the best annual replacement color contact lenses
are hand painted, while all disposable contacts are digitally printed.
For a color contact it is very important not only to give you a
brilliant vibrant color, but also to look natural. If you look very
closely at your eyes, you will see that your iris isn't a solid color
but has various colors and patterns. Some people have a starburst
pattern, while others have tiny rays of yellow or black in a blue or
green iris. These patterns and colors give your eyes a feeling of
depth. Hand painted lenses, like Durasoft 2, include subtle details
and varied colors. This helps to simulate depth and gives your eyes a
very natural appearance.

As you can imagine, hand-painted color contacts are more difficult to
produce, so they

I usually prefer aftermarket; they're a fraction of what OEMs charge.

But on the downside, the latest models are patented and have embedded
electronic chips that make them near impossible to clean. Nearsighted
OEMs warn you that soaking them in anything less than the authorized
$90 solution - with, yes, an embedded chip in the bottle - would void
your warranty. So in my case I've gone back to wearing glasses. ;-)

Personally, I think this is a poor type of color management. If your
prints have a consistent color shift or tone, rather than trying to
change the colors your eyes see by using colored contact lenses, it is
probably a better idea to use a color management tool that allows you to
alter your monitor and printer relative to a known color range.

Colored contact lenses may appease you temporarily to give the illusion
of accurate color balance on your prints, but it only will work for you
or others who wear the same lens colors.

And the latest models come with the Vista pre installed. There are no
drivers available for your other body parts: you have to upgrade your
arms and legs. Stick with glasses.
