Order coloured contact lenses
Ordering coloured contact lenses is just as simple as ordering non-coloured versions. But what types are there? Let's look into that!
Wearing contact lenses is now a completely natural thing, with far less hassle than a decade or two ago. Today's contact lenses are made of modern, easily manageable, breathable materials, providing a high level of comfort, and even beginners learn to use them very quickly.
Moreover, they have become such a part of our lives that we don't necessarily choose them only for vision correction purposes. Just as there is the term "fashion glasses" - when we wear glasses purely as fashionable accessories - so cosmetic contact lenses are becoming increasingly popular.
We have the opportunity to try out different eye colors or wear patterned lenses, whether just for a party, festival, or even in everyday life. Ordering coloured contact lenses is just as simple as ordering non-coloured versions. But what types are there? Let's look into that!
Coloured Contact Lenses with Prescription
If we stick to the fact that the lens is a vision correction tool, then it is clear that there are coloured contact lenses with prescription. However, it is important to know that not all coloured versions are available in prescription, as we distinguish between overlay and highlighting lenses in this regard.
Highlighting lenses mainly serve the purpose of making the own eye color brighter, more exciting, or slightly altering it. They make light eyes even brighter, dark eyes even deeper, and more captivating. This type is available with prescription, and most people are happy to wear them regularly.
Coloured Contact Lenses Without Prescription
Another variation of coloured lenses is the so-called overlay type. This type of coloured contact lenses without prescription is made, so it is not suitable for vision correction, nor is that the goal. Overlay lenses are available in all shades of the rainbow and with any pattern you can imagine.
Big favorites at Halloween parties or during Carnival, but the world of cinema also loves them when a character needs to be disguised. By wearing these lenses, you can be a cat, zombie, witch, or fairy-tale hero with strikingly beautiful or even scary eyes. When browsing through the eOpticians.ie range, you will be surprised at how many crazy patterned coloured contact lenses there are.

Coloured Contact Lens Care
Coloured contact lens care is no different from that of traditional lenses. In fact, it is not really about whether they are coloured or not, but rather about how they are worn. Most coloured contact lenses are for daily wear, so you put them in in the morning, take them out in the evening, and dispose of them, so there is no need to spend time caring for them.
Cleaning longer-wear coloured contact lenses is done in the same way as non-coloured lenses: after wearing them, you place them in a container filled with contact lens solution, then after soaking overnight, in the morning you can put them back in your eyes after rubbing/rinsing them with your finger and cleaning solution.
If you have never worn contact lenses before, regardless of whether they are coloured or not, be sure to visit a contact lens eye examination appointment, where a professional will determine if your eyes are suitable for wearing lenses, if so, help you decide which ones to choose, and also teach you how to use them.
