Which eye contacts are most comfortable?
Soft contact lenses are the most comfortable, but there are some brands that boast more comfort. In my experience, the brand doesn’t matter as much as the type and the size. If you notice your eyes dry out quickly, then choose a lens that promotes hydration. There isn’t a known difference between comfort levels for daily and extended wear contacts, so try both and see what works for you.
When you order contact lenses make sure you are reading reviews to see what other purchasers thought of the product. If you see a lot of reviews about discomfort or irritation, then those contacts might not be right for you. But remember that contacts don’t work well for everyone. So, don’t take one other person’s experience and believe that you’ll ave the same experience. Make sure you are reading multiple reviews and looking for a mention of comfort.
Types of colored contacts:
There are individual types of colored contact lenses depending on what you’re looking for. One type is a visibility tint which is used to help you see the lens when inserting and removing it. These are more commonly tinted blue or green, and the color will not affect your eye color when wearing them. The tint is only for your benefit, and it can only be seen when the lens is removed.
There is also an enhancement tint. This is a darker option than the visibility tint and does affect the color of your eye. These are meant to enhance the color of your eye rather than completely changing it. They make your natural eye color stand out more and seem more dramatic.
Finally, there is an opaque tint option. These lenses are not transparent. They change the color of your eye completely. So, if you are looking for a more drastic change then this is the option for you.
Why order my contacts online?
To be blunt, ordering contacts online is cheaper. Sure, you can go to your optometrist and have them order some for you, but you are paying a flat fee for the contacts and fees that the optometrist will charge as well.
It’s a lot cheaper to find a reputable company to order eye contacts online. You can also take the time to look at all of the different options available and take your time choosing the right ones for you. Whenever I visit the optometrist, I’m usually told which contacts they’ll be ordering for me. But if you order contact lenses online you get to make that choice for yourself and pay a more reasonable price.
Which contacts look natural?
Contact lenses with natural colors are going to look more natural than strange colors. If you are looking to just enhance your eye color definitely consider enhancement tint contacts which will look more natural than a complete color change. So, if you’re looking for a more natural option consider a common eye color. Stick with blue, brown, green or some close variation. But it’s also fun to play with different colors so don’t be afraid to try different colors even though they won’t look as natural.
Changing your eye color is a lot like changing your hair but without long term risk. If you don’t like your hair color, you have to wait for it to fade before you can change it back. But with contacts, if you don’t like the color you chose, you can simply take the contacts out and try a different color.
So, while you’ll want to see your optometrist to make sure you are using the correct size and type of contacts, don’t forget that there are so many options online to consider instead of ordering through your doctor. Make sure you are using contact lenses safely if you do order them, to prevent any damage to your eye. Order contact lenses on any well-reviewed website and give them a try. You might just find a new look that you love.
