Why not take advantage of what is on offer and give those eyes a little bit of a lift! I’m not talking about plastic surgery but coloured contact lenses!

With these lenses you can enhance what you have already got. With subtle changes to your eye colour, your whole appearance can be pepped up! They make you feel good about yourself. And as they say, when you feel good, so too do you look good as well! More good news, is that they don’t cost the earth!

‘Freshlook’ have a huge range of coloured lenses, just take a look at their colour chart here. Another great range are the Acuvue lenses from Johnson & Johnson. You can see their complete range on the Acuvue web site. Both brands are available from our merchant partners Lens Catalogue and Vision Direct. Remember that you can save up to 70% compared to prices in the opticians by buying your contact lenses online.

If, by now, you are thinking you might have a fancy for a pair of coloured contact lenses but you really prefer to keep your eyes looking natural, why not check out the FreshLook Colorblends range. These lenses come in a variety of colours and have one main thing in common, to add a sphere of colour about the circumference of the pupil. My favourite thing about these lenses is that they come in deep rich colours. ‘Pure Hazel’ offers a wood grain effect, while ‘Brown’ adds deep dark colour to your eyes. ‘True Sapphire’ blends blues and greens to stunning effect, while ‘Blue’ coordinates a hazel pupil ring upon rich sapphire.

If you fancy a mad new look for the big rock gig, there is something for you too! At the ‘Wild Eyes’ coloured contact lenses level, you have gravitated from the beautiful and are a stone’s throw away from taking the Rocky Horror Picture Show plunge for special effects lenses. With the added eccentricity of your tastes come the boosted price tag, so be warned!. Wild Eyes are available from Lens Catalogue.

The world is your oyster when it comes to fashioning a pair of contact lenses. If you are into music, you could have little musical notes hand painted on, or maybe a treble clef? You love animals, so you could have cats eyes (these are ever so popular, especially at festivals!). You like the outdoors and hiking, so why not have a tree painted on or a mountain range? Your options are limitless!

A popular design in America is the good old stars and stripes flag. Not sure how many people would want the English Union Jack flag painted on, not unless they were English football supporters! The Olympics might even produce an extra sale or two of Union Jack contact lenses! It takes all sorts!

The hand painted designer lenses can cost serious money but CIBA Vision’s range of “Wild Eyes” special effects lenses cost around £30 per lens and can be ordered here on the Lens Catalogue web site.

The slightly more normal ranges of coloured contact lenses can be found through our online stockists Vision Direct. Browse to your heart’s content till you find ‘the one’.
