If you’ve been desperate to experiment with colored contact lenses but concerned they won’t cover your brown eyes, then fear not! With the latest contact lens technology and use of color opacity, long gone are the garish colors of the 90s and here to stay are incredible natural colors with impeccable coverage to allow you to achieve the eye color of your dreams, with no one second-guessing you’re wearing colored contact lenses.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of which colored contacts are best for brown eyes, a word of caution when experimenting with color contact lenses. As with any trend, with the rising popularity of these clever devices in recent years, unfortunately so has the counterfeit market. You must always check you’re buying from a reputable brand before purchasing lenses. Contact lenses are classed as medical devices and fake lenses can have serious consequences on your eye health.
How can I tell if the brand is reputable?
It’s always worth doing research on a brand before purchasing. How long have they been around? Do they have customer service and accreditations from health boards on their website? Another way to tell is to look at the price, does the price look too good to be true? If it does, then they are probably fake lenses.
Solotica colored contact lenses were established in 1949 and offer some of the best colored contact lenses on the market that are FDA approved, CE certified and approved by the UAE Ministry of Health. They offer thousands of genuine customer reviews so you can feel safe and secure knowing you’re buying from a legitimate colored contact lens manufacturer.
