- 1). Visit an eye doctor to get a prescription for your colored contacts. Even those who do not require corrective eye wear can do this, as it's about the unique size and shape of your eyes. Your colored contacts should fit properly for the best results. There are "one size fits all" type of non prescription colored contacts, but may not truly fit as well as a prescription pair of contact lenses. Your eye doctor will also teach you how to properly care for your colored contacts.
- 2). Check out the color charts available through colored contacts manufacturers to get an idea of what is out there. If you have very dark eyes, opaque contact lenses will give better results. Light eyes can easily use enhancement tints. Perhaps you'd like a more dramatic change? There are several colors and styles of colored contacts to choose from.
- 3). Shop for discount contact lenses online, or buy straight from your eye doctor. Once you have the prescription, you can choose either for colored contacts. Do a little comparison shopping to get the best price, as many companies offer quality colored contacts at discount prices. Ask your doctor if he or she has any personal preferences for companies selling discount contact lenses.
- 4). Care for your colored contacts as your eye doctor had advised, and follow manufacturers recommendations. Always use a contact lens solution as opposed to regular water to help prevent buildup of damaging bacteria. Change colored contacts as advised, some may be okay to leave in a week, others need changed daily, but always follow manufacturers recommendations for your particular colored contacts.
- 5). Change it up! Buy more than one set of colored contacts to change your look for different occasions. Perhaps you'd like to go with green or blue for daytime, but would like a lavender tint for the evenings. Maybe you'd like the funky cat eye look for a night on the town. The sky's the limit, choose as many as you'd like! Changing your look has never been so easy or fun!
