For a long time, prescription contacts were only available in plain transparent material, but today, it's possible to get beautiful colored contacts that provide prescription vision correction. Even better, you aren't limited to simply blue, brown, green, or other natural shades. Today, there are a whole range of special effects lenses that are also available with prescription correction!
Prescription contacts, whether transparent or colored, change the curvature of your eye to properly focus light, making your vision clear and sharp. Colored contacts use inks printed onto the material to also change the color of your irises.
Some colored lenses are primarily translucent, adding just a hint of additional color to the natural shade of your eyes, while others are more densely pigmented, allowing you to change even dark brown eyes to bright, pale colors like blue or grey.
While some optometrists' offices provide a limited collection of colored lenses alongside their standard prescription lenses, you can now find a much wider range of cheap prescription colored contacts online. Regulations require that online retailers verify that you have a current, valid prescription issued by an optometrist, so you can trust that reputable sources like Myeyebb will provide lenses that not only look great, but provide the vision correction you need.
Colored prescription lenses can generally be treated just as standard prescription lenses, from cleaning and storage to wear and disposal. Though modern production techniques mean the printing is designed to stand up to regular wear and tear, it is generally recommended that you use a no-rub solution for cleaning and storing colored contacts to reduce the risk of damaging the coloration or patterns on the lens.
Many colored lenses are designed for longer wear than plain lenses—months rather than days or weeks—so it's especially important to take proper care of them to avoid damage or protein build up that can make them uncomfortable to wear or introduce a risk of infections. Always wash your hands with soap and water before handling your contacts. Avoid activities like sleeping or swimming while wearing them, and always store your lenses in fresh solution once you take them out of your eyes.
If your contacts are causing irritation despite proper handling, it's probably time to discard them and use a fresh pair. Sometimes, lenses can be damaged even by careful handling, and irritation is a sign that something is wrong. Don't risk your eyes by ignoring these warning signs, and always discard lenses when their period of wear is up, even if you aren't yet experiencing discomfort.
Another thing to keep in mind is that colored lenses are sold in matched pairs. This means that if you require a different prescription for each eye, you'll need to order two separate pairs. Make sure you keep careful track of which lens is which prescription so you place them correctly when you wear them.
