These aren't your parent's contact lenses - colored lenses have come of age

Want to change the color of your eyes? Once a rare novelty item, colored contacts are now readily available from a wide array of manufacturers. Companies like CIBA Vision, with their Freshlook Colorblends brand, offer a fun variety of colored lenses. You can find colored lenses ranging from subtle to wild, and go with a slight change or a completely new eye color.

Best of all, you don't even need to be a normal contact user to take advantage of colored contact lenses. Most brands of colored contacts offer lenses that don't provide vision correction at all - they are worn solely for the purpose of changing your eye color. Of course, if you normally wear contacts, it will be simple for you to try on a new eye color - simply order your normal prescription and you'll combine a new tint with 20/20 vision.

Colored contact lenses are no longer just for people with light eye colors, either. Even if you have naturally dark eyes, you'll be able to find lenses that offer a refreshing and exciting change in eye color. In addition to their FreshLook Colorblends brand, Freshlook offers lines of colored contacts for just about any eye color and prescription combination out there. And that is just one lens manufacturer - other brands, such as Acuvue, Biomedics, and Coopervision also offer lines of fun and unusual colored lenses. With so many choices, you be able to find the exact tint that you are looking for.

Where to find colored contacts? Just about any shop that sells contact lenses should have a selection of colors available in your prescription. Your local eye center is a good place to start your search. However, if you know your prescription or can get a copy of it from your doctor, the best place by far to find colored lenses - or any contact lenses, for that matter - is online. There are numerous retailers on the web, and ordering contacts online couldn't be any easier.

The best online retailers store your prescription information, and even send you an email reminder to let you know that your supply of disposables is probably running low. And, with a surprisingly quick turnaround time, you'll never have to wait more than a few days for your new contacts to arrive in the mail - usually along with a complimentary contact case.

Once you try them, you may become very fond of colored contacts. It is now possible to change your eye color to match your mood, your outfit, or any occasion whatsoever. Choose wild lenses for costume parties, or go with subtle color enhancers to accentuate the normal color of your eyes. The possibilities are endless. And, given the ease of Internet shopping and ordering, it is a simple matter of a few mouse clicks to try out a new look. Even if your vision is perfect, you will be interested in colored lenses.

Give colored contacts a try for yourself, and you'll finally be able to know for certain what it is like to have the eye color that you have always imagined. From baby blue to steely gray, the color of your eyes is now as easily changed as the clothes that you wear.
