Want a new look? Change up your look with colored contact lenses. Colored contact lenses are easy to use, relatively inexpensive, can be used even if you have vision problems and come in a wide range of colors and types. Colored contacts have been around for several decades and many innovations have been added to make them easier to use, more comfortable and more versatile.
Contact lenses have existed as a concept for hundreds of years. Leonardo Da Vinci first conceptualized them around 1508. In the late 1880s, German glassblower F.E. Muller actually built the first pair. A.E. Fick improved them a year later and there has been constant improvement ever since. They have gone from being a medical marvel to a cheap Halloween gimmick.
One of the strengths of the modern contact lens is that it is a relatively easy item to use. Most retailers will require you to have a simple prescription showing your vision needs. Many types are available online and they can be shipped to you in days. These modern lenses are easy to clean, can be worn for long periods of time and are comfortable. Once they are kept clean and undamaged, they can be popped in and out of the eyes with no problem.
With innovation has come a lowering of prices. Initially, only a few could afford colored contacts. They were used by the wealthy and people involved in the movies. Today people are able to get these kinds of lenses cheap or even get trial ones for free.
No matter what type of vision problem you have, there is a contact lens to suit you. There are toric lenses, lenses that are single or multifocal, lenses for people who are near or farsighted and even for people with astigmatism. These are interocular lenses that can be implanted in the eye and disposable lenses designed to be thrown away after a few days of use.
The wide range of colors and styles contact lenses are available in today is truly astounding. Aside from the basic blue, green and hazel, there are translucent tints that enhance the natural color, opaque lenses that completely change the eye color and decorative or theatrical lens that can make you appear to have the eyes of a cat, a vampire an alien or any other design you like.
Today, colored contacts are available in a rainbow of colors. Try them and have some fun!
