Colored contact lenses can be a great, impermanent way to change up your look, however, it is important to consider the risks before beginning to use coloured contacts. Above all, be sure to consult your optometrist to ensure your eyes are healthy enough so that the contacts won’t cause any problems. Also remember that colored contacts must be cleaned in a similar fashion to regular contacts, or there is a high risk of infection, so make sure you have the proper contact cleaning supplies on hand. When purchasing coloured contacts, be sure to choose lenses that are not too far from your original eye colour, for the most natural look possible. If they are too different from your natural eye, you may have issues seeing through the opaque colour needed to change your eye colour.
