Why Choose Brown Contact Lenses

Brown eyes are the most popular colour around the world, with over 50% of the population having naturally brown eyes. It’s probably not surprising then, that brown contact lenses are the most popular selling coloured lenses. They are particularly popular with people wanting to lighten their naturally dark eyes.
Brown contact lenses work really well with neutral or darker skin tones but can have a wow factor on lighter skin tones where people would expect a lighter eye colour.

Types Of Brown Contact Lenses

Brown contact lenses are available in two wearing modes

  • Monthly Disposable - These can be worn for up to 30 consecutive days but will need to be removed, cleaned and stored each evening. The majority of coloured lenses are available as monthly disposables.
    Daily Disposable - These are worn for just one day and then disposed of each evening. They are ideal if you just want to change your eye colour for the evening, or weekend. Daily disposable contact lenses are seen as the healthiest option for your eyes.

    Theses can be sub-divided into the types of lenses

  • Enhancers - As you would expect Enhancers are designed to enhance your natural eye colour, they can slightly lighten darker eyes and even change the colour of lighter coloured eyes. They have more of a natural look and can make your eye look brighter and fresher without anyone knowing you wear coloured contacts, a great example is Freshlook Colorblends which uses 3 in 1 technology to blend three different iris patterns and colours together to give a very natural effect.
    Opaques - Opaque lenses are designed to change the eye colour of people with darker eye shades. e.g Freshlook Colors. these lenses are able to completely change a dark coloured eye, such as turning blue eyes brown or brown eyes blue.
    Special Effects - Special effect contact lenses can be called Special FX, Costume contacts, Novelty Contacts etc, they are normally opaque lenses that change your eye colour completely and can even change the shape of your pupil, or make it disappear completely - eg, a cats eye contact lens can give you an elliptical pupil, and a black out lens will make it appear you have no pupil at all. These are most commonly worn occasionally with fancy dress or anime costumes and in the film and theatre industry.

Getting The Best Out Of Your Brown Contact Lenses

If you require vision correction then make sure you buy powered contact lenses, so that you can see clearly and change your eye colour at the same time. If you have great vision then choose plano (zero power) contact lenses.
Make sure you choose the right shade of brown, if the first colour doesn’t give you the change you were looking for, don’t be afraid to try a different shade, either lighter or darker. 
Check out customer reviews and images to see which brown coloured lens they felt worked best with their eye natural colour.

Here are a few quick tips to keep your eyes healthy and your lenses clean

Do – Take proper care of your lenses. Follow the instructions given by the manufacturer, and only wear them as long as they were intended. 
Do - Remove your contact lenses if your eyes are sore or irritated. If the irritation doesn't go away after a day or two, consult your eye care practitioner.
