Coloured Contacts- The New Look

Coloured contacts are small shaped contacts with a colored tint that is applied directly onto the front surface of the eye. These contacts are used as a or simply to enhance the beauty of the person wearing them. These contacts are available in many color shades and you can select a couple of different colors to wear to the next party or picnic.

A contact lens prescription is used to correct optical defects such as short sightedness, long sightedness, astigmatism etc. Often contact lenses are fitted to correct distortions of vision caused by an irregular cornea. If you are new to using contact lenses, you will like coloured contacts and the impact they have on the way others behave toward your new appearance.

An eye exam is designed to assess an individual's level of vision. A contact may be prescribed by an optometrist or an ophthalmologist. The newer a contact lens is and the less it is handled, the lower the risk of infection and the quality of image is also better.

Soft lenses that can be disposed daily or may be replaced daily, weekly or monthly have been available on the market for the past couple of years. Rigid lenses generally require replacement only annually. Unless you use daily disposable lenses, you have to develop a routine for contact lens care. A change in lenses is needed if the lens may be scratched or has deposits on it.

Your vision should be checked regularly. The coloured contacts should be cleaned using recommended solutions. This is necessary to ensure that the color tint remains stable for a long time. Coloured contacts are not suitable for small children as a high level of care is needed to keep the lenses safe and clean.

The contacts should not be rinsed in tap water as it may cause eye infections. Environmental factors such as smoke or dry air may cause discomfort to a contact user from time to time. It is best to keep a spare pair of lenses on hand for replacement in case of damage or loss. An alternative is to carry your glasses with you for replacement in case of an emergency.

Make sure that the contact lens is comfortable and stable but not so tight so that it restricts tear flow underneath the contacts. As a follow up care the ophthalmologist may advise you to reduce the amount of time you wear lenses or change to a different contact lens material if necessary.
