What are coloured contact lenses?

Coloured contact lenses are made from the same base as clear prescription lenses that you can buy from an optometrist. However, they have the addition of a printed design that sits on the outer facing surface. In non-prescription form, they can be worn to enhance or transform your natural eye colour. In prescription form, they can be used to improve vision too.

UK Coloured Contact Lenses vs Cheap Imports

Over recent years there’s been an influx of low quality, cheap coloured contacts from places that do not have the same standards of certification as the UK and US. However, we only stock UK Manufactured soft lenses; a high quality, yet cheaper and more comfortable alternative to hard lenses, they now account for the majority of contact lens usage in the USA. The printing process takes place in sterile conditions and involves the use of strong patented pigments, all of which are approved and compliant with the EU Cosmetics Directive.

How long can you safely wear coloured contact lenses for?

Coloured contact lenses can be worn safely for up to 8 consecutive hours. However, they shouldn’t be worn overnight or while asleep. Instead, the lenses should be removed and stored in a contact lens solution-filled, sterile, airtight container.

Advice on staying safe while wearing colour contact lenses

It’s important to take all reasonable precautions to safeguard your eyes when wearing coloured lenses. To help you out, here’s a list of the most important dos and don’ts:

Dos:

1. Do sterilize coloured contact lenses before use. To avoid infection and damage to the eye, soak your lenses in sterile solution before and after use. We recommend Multipurpose Contact Lens Solution for this.

2. Do stop wearing the lenses if you experience irritation. If the lenses irritate the eye, feel uncomfortable or cause redness, you should remove them immediately and consult an eye doctor or optometrist for advice on future use.

Don’ts:

1. Don’t share your lenses with anyone else. Sharing lenses will substantially increase the chances of contracting a bacterial infection, which in the most severe cases can cause irreversible damage.

2. Don’t wear multiple lenses in one eye. People often assume that they can wear coloured contact lenses on top of clear prescription lenses. However, this shouldn’t be done under any circumstances. Wearing multiple pairs of lenses at once is likely to cause irritation and the more severe consequences can be a scratch to the cornea and even blindness.

3. Don’t wear coloured contacts if you have a pre-existing eye infection or have recently had eye surgery. If you’ve recently had an eye infection, injury or have undergone eye surgery, you should refrain from wearing coloured contacts until you’ve consulted an optometrist or eye doctor for advice.

4. Don’t wear ripped or damaged coloured contact lenses. Wearing a ripped or damaged contact lens can be extremely dangerous as it can lead to fragments breaking off and becoming lodged in the eye. It’s therefore important to handle your coloured contact lenses with extreme care, avoiding contact with sharp objects such as fingernails.
