Non Prescription Colored Contact Lenses
We live in an age where anyone can be beautiful.
For decades we've been able to change a boring or drab hair color into
vibrant locks of any shade. We can transform straight lifeless
hair into silky curls, full of body. We can disguise our love
handles with garments designed to flatten and flatter and women can
change their bust size through the use of push-up bra's and
undergarments intended to give us extra bulk where we need it and
flatten the areas where we don't.
We can distract from our
imperfections through the use of cosmetics and give our skin a golden
bronze color by applying sunless tanners. Now, thanks to
technology, we can even change the color of our eyes with the help of
non prescription colored contact lenses.
What are non prescription colored contact lenses?

lenses without a prescription. In actuality, non prescription, in
this case, is a term used to denote that the contact lenses does
not provide vision correction. They are purely for cosmetic use
and will not improve nor impair vision.
Made of a soft, flexible, plastic material, non
prescription colored contact lenses fit over the cornea of the eye. They
supply color to the iris while a transparent area of lenses fits
over the pupil so as to not distract from nor distort vision.
How well do they work?
Non prescription colored contact lenses will change any
eye color somewhat though the results vary depending on the natural
color of the eye. The colored area of the lenses is transparent and
will allow the natural eye color to show through often times, giving the
appearance of a combination of both the natural eye color and the color
of the lenses.
Lighter eyes can easily be changed into darker or more
vibrant colors while darker eyes will often times see some change
though not as pronounced. Though darker eyed persons should not be
discouraged from trying non prescription colored contact lenses as the
results can be quite alluring and beautiful.

lenses come in?

retain moisture which is essential to eye health however, proper fit and
hygiene are extremely important. Those interested in non
