If you are looking for new contact lenses, I suggest that you look at tinted contacts as well. You can use them to improve the color of your iris, or even change it completely. If you ever thought that you had the wrong color in your eyes then why not try them out? Because you have astigmatism?
Today the technology in optometrics has advanced to such a level that there are toric contacts available with color tints as well. Normally these are monthly lenses since in most cases they are custom made according to the diffraction in the cornea.
If you are used to wearing regular disposable contacts, then you should be relieved to know that you can get tinted contact lenses in this type as well. These are contacts that you wear only for the day, and then throw them away at night. This is excellent for anyone who doesn’t wear contacts all the time, but just a few days of the month. You can also get them in different colors, so you can change the color of your eyes every day!
RGP contacts – also known as breathable contacts or Rigid Gas Permeable contacts – are one of the most popular type of contacts these days. This is because they offer such comfort, and do not have some of the regular problems that contacts have. Your cornea has to get oxygen from the air around it, but a regular contact lens will prevent this, where an RGP lens will air flow right through itself to the cornea. This way eye ache is relieved and the risk for corneal oxygen deficiency is smaller. Even if these lenses breathe, you will have to take them out of your eyes for the night. These are usually monthly contacts and can be purchased with any possible color variation.
