Contact lenses are a fashionable trend that allows you to change the usual image and style while correcting vision. Masking brown eyes is a difficult task, which can only be done with ophthalmological devices with rich shades, which help to radically change a boring appearance.

What are colored and tinted contact lenses for eyes

Colored lenses are opaque contact lenses with a large amount of coloring pigment used for the external effect of changing the natural color of the iris. They are called contact because they are worn directly on the cornea of ​​the eye. With this cosmetic device, you can create a new image and correct your eyesight.

Depending on the purpose, colored lenses can have a visual sharpening effect or only serve as a decorative function.

Tinted lenses are one of the varieties of decorative cosmetics. Unlike colored ones, they are filled with less dye, so they are not able to mask the natural color of the iris. Tinted lenses are used to add depth, saturation to the look, and can enhance and transform natural color.

The best toning ophthalmic devices are suitable for the owner of bright eyes. Just like transparent models, tinted lenses can correct vision. The cosmetic industry is actively selling carnival lenses, which are an overlay on the iris of the eye with dollar patterns or an LED effect.

• Two-tone - colored lenses with a double color (dark and light shades of the same color). A dark line is drawn along the edge of the device for visual expansion of the pupil. Used to change the natural color of the eyes. There are blue, blue, green, black, brown colors.

• to be used during the day (removed at night);
• not removable for 3 days;
• which can be worn continuously for up to 7 days;
• operated without change for about a month or a quarter.

Specificity of wearing mode

Colored lenses (for brown eyes, ophthalmic devices with a large amount of coloring pigment have a camouflaging effect) are very soft, as a result of which they do not pass air well, forcing the ocular cornea to experience a constant lack of oxygen.

In cosmetic tinted and colored lenses, there is no paint in place of the pupil. When dilated, the pupil goes beyond the unpainted area, which leads to a deterioration in visual perception. When narrowing, the natural color of the iris becomes noticeable.

Colored lenses are practically harmless, do not cause allergies and vision problems, but prolonged wearing of devices is undesirable due to the possible appearance of redness, a feeling of pain and dryness in the eyes. Carnival lenses, due to the specifics of the color, impede the natural perception of color, and with frequent and prolonged wear they can greatly impair vision.

Before buying camouflage devices, you must visit an ophthalmologist for:

• determination of visual acuity;
• identifying contraindications for wearing colored lenses;
• determination of the diameter of the iris and the curvature of the cornea, depending on which lenses are selected.

Neglect of measurements and medical advice can lead to the purchase of a drug that does not meet the parameters and subsequently (with frequent and prolonged wear) to severe visual impairment or provoke the appearance of eye defects.

You need to get used to wearing lenses gradually. On the first day, you can stay in camouflage eye lenses for no more than 1 hour. With each subsequent day, the wearing time increases by 30 minutes. After continuous use of the lenses for more than 5 hours (in the absence of redness and discomfort), continuous use is allowed.

The ideal option is to stay in colored lenses for 4-5 hours, after which the eyes should be given a rest. Leaving eye pads overnight is not recommended. If there is a burning sensation, redness, discomfort, blackout, the camouflage device must be removed immediately.

For beginners, it is better to choose daily lenses. Gradually, the period of continuous wearing can be increased up to 3 months.

Possible contraindications and limitations

Contraindications for the purchase of colored lenses:

• conjunctivitis;
• exacerbation of blepharitis;
• bacterial infection;
• inflammatory process of the eyes.

Before buying camouflage eye patches, you should definitely visit an optometrist. Lenses are selected only after the doctor's approval and strictly in accordance with the parameters measured by him. Wearing the wrong sized devices can greatly impair vision and provoke the appearance of eye diseases.

The recommended wearing time for the lenses is 4-5 hours. After the expiration of the indicated period, the device must be removed and the eyes should be allowed to rest. Neglecting this condition will cause corneal hypoxia, a feeling of dryness and burning.
