What are Color Contacts?
Color contacts change the color of your eyes because they have pigment built into the lens material. The pigmented area of the lens covers the iris thus changing the eye color without affecting your vision.They've been around for a long time, but there has never been so many different colors and styles available. Also, you can purchase them online and have them shipped to your house. This is nothing new, you can also do this with clear contacts.
There are two basic types of colored lenses:
- Opaque color contacts use a solid pigment that masks the natural eye color underneath. Opaques are the lenses to choose when you want to completely change your eye color.
Brands like Acuvue 2 Colors Opaques and Freshlook Colorblends are two of the most popular two-week disposable color contacts.
- Enhancer lenses use a translucent pigment in the lens that allows some of the eye's natural color to show through. If you want to amp up or intensify your natural color, then enhancers are for you.
While opaque lenses are suitable for any eye color, enhancers work for people with light eyes. Brands like Freshlook Dimensions are enhancers worth trying.

Do You Need A Prescription To Buy Colored Contacts?
In the U.S., the answer is yes. By law, you must have a valid doctor's prescription to order color contacts online or from a retail optometrist. Your eye doctor is obligated under the law to provide you with your written prescription so you can shop around for the best deal.
Even color contacts that are not vision correcting (sometimes called non-prescription contacts) require a prescription! Sounds confusing, but basically non-prescription color contacts, or Plano lenses (having a power of 0.00) require a valid doctor's prescription.
For more information on contact lens prescriptions, please got to the official FDA site.

- Circle Lenses are very trendy now and I couldn't find information about circle lens shops on the Internet, so I want to share my experience.
I have received my second order from Solution Lens and everything is fine, good packing, and good ORIGINAL products, not like some other shops where I bought before, selling fake Chinese contact lenses.
Mostly about this website I like the price as you get circle lenses for $19.90 including shipping and when you buy 2 pairs a third pair is free !
This is the cheapeast shop and most reliable that I have found until now, and you can trust me as I am a circle lens addict.
