Contacts
The second most popular corrective optical devices, worn by more than 125 million worldwide, were invented around 1949, but became popular and mass produced around the 1960s. Since then, contact lenses have grown to be the most comfortable corrective lenses, but they have also become great cosmetic ways to play around what color our eyes can be.
• Corrective contact lenses
There are now various types of contacts available: soft contact lenses, night and day contact lenses, daily contact lenses, weekly lenses, bifocal contact lenses and many more. If you have already decided to get contacts, here is a mini guide to help you decide on the best contacts for you:
- Talk to your doctor first, and ask for professional advice for your specific visual condition
- Ask for some trial contacts and see how you tolerate putting, and keeping contacts on, for a few days
- Would you be comfortable taking them off every day or would you like contacts that would be wearable night and day?
• Cosmetic contact lenses
If you don’t really need contacts, but you have always been curious on how you would look with blue eyes, disposable color contact lenses are the best way to find that out. Colored contact lenses can be easily worn by anyone just trying to play with the color of their eyes. You can even find crazy designs that would work well for a scary Halloween costume.
• Where should you buy contacts from?
For your first time purchase, rely on professional advice from your eye doctor. Once you learn which are your measurements and powers for your lenses, you can order contact lenses online on at
