Are colored lenses safe?

The same rules apply to both as with regular contact lenses—above all, maintaining hygiene, proper lens care, and careful insertion and removal from the eyes. The color contained in colored contact lenses does not come into contact with the eyes, so in this respect they are completely safe.

Do colored lenses have to be prescribed by a doctor?

If you have a vision impairment and wear glasses or use classic clear contact lenses, in this case you also need to choose prescription colored contact lenses. The advantage is that they are sold individually, so you can adjust the number of diopters separately for the left eye and separately for the right eye. So you don’t need a prescription from a doctor, but you must know your diopter strength.

How do colored lenses work?

Non-prescription and prescription colored contact lenses have a special colored layer inside that covers your iris and gives it a new color. Opaque colored lenses completely cover your natural color, so you can choose any shade, including all kinds of crazy colored contact lenses in both non-prescription and prescription versions.

What occasions are colored lenses suitable for?

Colored lenses are suitable for any occasion. You can use them for everyday wear as well as to spice up your look for a party, for example. You’ll appreciate prescription and non-prescription colored contact lenses anywhere you want to catch attention with your eyes.

Using colored contact lenses is therefore safe and suitable for everyone. You just need to choose the desired shade and follow hygiene rules and proper use. Thanks to colored lenses, you can look completely different every day.
