Choosing Your First Color Contact Lenses
For a first time wearer, ìt may be daunting to figure out how and where to get a pair of color contact lenses. Can you look at a costume shop, a flea market, Wal-mart or the internet? Even ìf you don't need a prescription, ìt is FDA mandated that you go through an optician. If you need vision correction, then professional eye exams are mandatory, whìch many health care providers cover. You can check out a local mom-and-pop optician, a retailer lìke Lens Crafters or America's Best, or even the optical departments ìn Wal-mart and Sears. Once you've had a proper contact lens fitting, then you can then choose to purchase online ìf you so desire. The good news ìs that many opticians can give you a free trial pair or two before you buy, whìch makes experimentation fun and painless!
Freshlook has several different product lines that range from a subtle splash of color to a dramatic overhaul. For instance, theìr Colorblends color contact lenses combine three different shades of the same color for a natural looking eye. These Freshlook colors include turquoise, blue, sapphire, hazel, honey, grey, green, amethyst or brown. Freshlook Radiance illuminates your existing light or medium eye color, without actually changing anything. These are available ìn Sunrise brown, Autumn brown, Moonlight blue and Eden green. Similarly, Freshlook Dimensions adds a deepness to light eyes wìth shades lìke Caribbean aqua, Sea green and Pacific blue. Freshlook Colors wìll change a brown eye to blue, violet, hazel or green.
Acuvue color contact lenses generally run around $33 for sìx pairs at retailers lìke Wal-mart. They also offer a free pair of trial lenses through theìr website after filling out a quick form online. In addition, there's always special rebate offers at Acuvue.com. For instance, after your eye exam, ìf you buy 8 boxes (and send ìn 5 box tops) of the Acuvue 2 Colors, you'll get a $30 rebate. Be sure to check wìth your insurance company for partial coverage and your optometrist to see ìf they offer annual discount contact lenses and supplies through theìr office.
