BEAUTY KLINIC

If you are a long time sufferer of astigmatism, chances are that you are familiar with toric contact lenses by now. Today however, you can also change the color of your eyes with colored toric lenses. Colored toric lenses are made from the same material as normal contact lenses and are generally soft or RGP (rigid gas permeable). They can also come in a wide variety of colors and even special ones that look like cats’ eyes or any other animal or zombie you can think of. These are usually a stand out at parties or on Halloween.

Choice Of Lenses

There are two kinds of colored toric lenses. Some that have to be removed every day before you go to bed and will last you around a year as long as you keep up with the cleaning routine and those that you can wear for around a week without removing them from your eyes. At the end of the seven day period, they are usually tossed out and a new pair worn. Their life can be prolonged to around two weeks if you are willing to go through the clean and store routine on a daily basis.

Colors

You can find colored toric lenses in just about any color but just in case you cannot find one that meets your taste, you can have your lenses custom made. However judging by the price of normal lenses which retail around the $120.00 mark, you can expect to pay quite a deal more for custom made lenses.

Get Your Eye Doctor’s Opinion

If you have your heart set on getting colored toric lenses, a quick visit to your eye doctor should answer any questions that you may have. It is also good to note that not everyone is suited to wearing colored lenses and that the price for these lenses can normally be quite expensive. In the end, the visit will be well worth it as you will have peace of mind knowing that your lenses will be perfectly fitted to your eyes.

Where To Buy

If you already have your prescription, then buying colored toric lenses can be done on the Internet. Just browse online and you should find a merchant in no time at all. The waiting period can range from 2 to 4 weeks so order them early if you want your lenses for a special occasion.

The Dangers Of Colored Toric Lenses

Wearing colored lenses whether they are toric or not is no more dangerous than wearing normal contact lenses. If your lenses are meant for daily use, make sure that you wash your hands before you handle them and always use fresh cleaning solution for cleaning and storage. You should also try to maximize their use to no longer than 10 hours per day. In other words, treat your contacts with great care and make sure that you do stick to the cleaning regime if you need to and you should not have any problems with your colored toric lenses or any contact lenses for that matter.
