Coloured Contact Lenses ft. Feel Good Contacts

Happy *almost* new year everyone! Today's post is going to be fairly short and sweet and it's all about coloured contact lenses. You may not know this about me but I've been wearing contact lenses for over nine years! I have tried out numerous brands, monthly lenses, fortnightly lenses, daily lenses (which were my favourites) and finally coloured contact lenses. Coloured contact lenses aren't something I wear often, they're usually just for halloween but why not wear them more often.

I was very kindly sent a couple of pairs of coloured contact lenses from the lovely people at Feel Good Contacts, who I've been lucky enough to work with a few times over the past couple of years. Just a note on Feel Good Contacts, I've always been impressed with their delivery times, packaging and how they usually include a packet of sweets in their parcels (sadly, they contain gelatine so I can't eat them but it's a nice gesture).

I don't think I've tried this brand of contact lenses before; although I've tried SO many over the past nine years so I might have done! The lenses are composed of silicone hydrogel which allows for a comfortable fit and wear as they are 'breathable' so they allow oxygen to keep your eyes refreshed (if I've understood that correctly). Additionally, the coloured sections of the lenses feature 3 in 1 colour technology which consists of three rings of colour around the iris of the lens to add vibrancy and depth the colour.

You can purchase the lenses as non-prescription lenses (so you just enter '0' on the prescription details pages) or you can have them as prescription lenses, I have the latter. My prescription isn't too bad and I take it from my regular contact lenses so they'll be as effective and wearable as my normal lenses. Despite the coloured section of the lenses, they work just as well and just as comfortably as the lenses I use on a daily basis.

The only difference between the coloured lenses from Feel Good Contacts and my normal lenses is the colour - the fit, wear and how comfortable they are is just the same. The colour does make them something I wouldn't wear all of the time as I personally don't feel the need to change my eye colour every day but it's something different to wear from time to time. I have the 'turquoise' shade which I love!

Overall, if you're looking for a pair of coloured contact lenses that are just as comfortable and easy to wear as 'normal' lenses then definitely check out the Air Optix Colours lenses at Feel Good Contacts as they don't really dry out my eyes (which I have experienced with so many lenses) and there's such a wide colour range to choose from.

Have you tried contact lenses or colour contact lenses?
