Before purchasing colored contact lenses, view samples
first..
Before you decide on the perfect pair of colored contact lenses,
view samples at the office of your eye care professional and online.
That way, you'll be familiar with the wide variety of products and
price ranges available.
Types of colored contact lenses to view
When it comes to colored
contact lenses, there are many samples to view and consider,
including:
- Enhancement tints, which are designed to enhance your eye color.
- Opaque tints, which create a more extreme color and are good
for changing eye color.
- Visibility tints,
which are not designed for cosmetic purposes. While these lenses
do have a light blue or green tint, their purpose is to help you
see your lenses better during insertion and removal.
- Light-filtering tints, which are designed for sports use, because
they enhance certain colors while muting others.
- Special effects, also known as theatrical or novelty lenses,
are frequently used on stage and in film and create more dramatic
looks that range from bizarre to humorous. Consumers like them
for special occasions, like Halloween or New Year's Eve.
