By Christian Wong

Contacts lenses are not only for those who are having short sighted eyes anymore. Everyone now including many celebrities wear colored contact lenses or what they called the big eye contact lenses. Contacts lenses are important elements when you are doing mix and match for your look. But, there are some things that you have to be aware when choosing and buying such contact lenses.

Actually, most of the color or big eye contact lenses are products from Japan and Korea. To admit that most of the designs fit Asian and not all the designs fit westerners. Therefore, you have to choose carefully, otherwise, you may look weird and unnatural after putting on such contact lenses.

For westerners, usually you are having lighter eyes (iris). If you wear the big eye contacts lenses with the black or dark brown circles, you may see a clear cut of the light and dark colors. Though I know you wish your eyes to look bigger, by wearing big eye contact lenses, you will probably look strange.

Though big eye contact lenses may not be suitable for you, you can still choose colored contact lenses. Actually you can pick many different colors such as blue, green, purple, brown, etc. With the 3 Tone design provided by many brands, you will find the colored contact lenses are now more suitable for light colored eyes. You have more choices to mix and match your colored contact lenses with your clothes and hair.

Such contact lenses are not just for girls or women. Many of the Korean or Japanese boy and man wear color or big eye contact lenses too. Especially for those who play rock music and are having punk look or for those who are having cosplay, contact lenses are really important to them.

Many people wear color contact lenses every day. If you do not like to wear them day to day, it does not mean that you should not have a pair of color contact lens. Actually, there are many designs that are suitable and great for party, especially the Halloween. Funny designs include Zombie, Bullet, Cats Eye and Spiral.

Though it is fun and funky to wear colored contact lenses, you must not wear them for too long or sleep with them. The pigmentation in the contact lenses reduces the oxygen transmissibility to your cornea. Also, as the curve of such contact lenses is usually standardized, it may not actually fit your eyes. It is advised by doctors not to wear the heavy pigmented ones for more than two hours a day.
