Make Those Brown Eyes Blue

Are you one of these people that were born with brown hair and brown eyes, but you always wanted to have blue eyes and blond hair? Color contact lenses and a little hair dye can accomplish this quickly. Eyes that are brown have more melanin in the iris than lighter colored green or blue eyes. As we age our eyes change color a little also. A color contact lens can temporarily change your eye color and really become a fashion statement.

Eyes that are brown or any color can easily be changed with today's technology of a color contact lens. These contacts are safe and comfortable as any other contacts might be. They can be worn as extended wear contact lenses, disposable or hard rigid lenses. There are four different types of color contacts and each one offers a slightly different benefit. The first one is just a visibility tint so if you drop a lens; you can easily find it. These lenses do not alter the color of the iris at all. The second tint is an enhancement tint. These lenses will only alter your eye color slightly and enhance your natural color of eyes. The third is the actual color tint and what you normally think of to change those brown eyes into blue or whatever you choose. There is a wide array of specialty colors on the market today. The fourth is a light filtering tint. These lenses are designed for athletes or sports fans; enhancing ball color or making the ball stand out more. When color contacts first came on the market, I think they looked a little artificial. Only rigid hard lenses were available and you could definitely see the rim around the iris. Now they are making them so that they look more natural on the eye and it is hard to tell if the person is wearing them at all.

Some would like to change the color of their eyes but they have 20/20 vision. These particular kinds of contacts are called plano and still must always be fitted by a professional. If they are not fitted by a physician, infection and permanent eye damage may occur. Always ask your doctor if color contacts could be good for you and your particular vision problems. If you are a regular contact lens wearer; it may be fun for you to change up your eye color and order some blue eyes in place of your brown ones.
