Technology and Colored Contacts

One of the markets which has highly developped recently and is even exploding is the color contacts market. The main reason for this success is that these products are not only used by people who have a vision problem, but are you used as fashion object by more and more people! It is like changing the color of you hair... now you change the color of your eye so that it matches with your clothes, hair and style! Another reason for their success is that with the progress of technology their variety available has considerably increased and everyone can now find the right colored contact they need. With the progress of technology, they are becoming more and more sophisticated and therefore comfortable!

Technically some of the innovations and progress that have been made is that color contacts allow now more air to pass through and reach the eye. Therefore health and comfort issues have decreased! Another technological progress is that most contact lenses are mainly made out of water and are therefore a lot more comfortable to wear and prevents health problems such as blood clots, head aches or simply pain!
In regards to the types of products availables, technology has allowed to offer daily color contact lenses but also monthly color contacts!

Different styles of color contact lenses

There are many different styles of color contact lenses. All depends on the goal you have. You may want to brighten your eyes, change their color, enhance their color or simply protect your eyes from sun damage.

If your intention is to brighten your eyes then i would recommend using Pearlescent Contact Lenses as they are very popular for people willing to brighten their eye color. These lenses add sparkle and luminous quality to your eye color. Example of brands are Freshlook Radiance from CibaVision or Sparkles Gold from Marietta Vision.

For those willing to completly change their eye color please search for "opaque" colored contact lenses. These lenses are made up of solid material and not with translucent colors like for many other contact lenses. These are the only contact lenses which will enable people with dark eyes to change the color of their eyes. If you have lighter colored eyes you will have more options.

In order to enhance the color of your eye we recommend to use translucent color contacts for people who have light colored eyes as they leave your original eye color to pass throught. I would not recommend these sorts of lenses for people with dark eyes!

A new type of color contacts existe now. It is no longer to change your look, but to protect yourself against sun! They protect you against harmful UV rays. These are like sunglasses but in contact lenses. You can find cool color contacts which protect you against light damage but which are also adapted to your eye if you practice sport. These are generally very confortable to wear. An example could be the Nike MaxSight Color contact lenses developed by Bausch & Lomb.
