These colored lenses are also called by the generic term of “cosmetic lenses”. They can be of any color desired, from light brown to peacock blue to emerald green and can be powered to any number desired. But it is up to you to choose the right type of lenses to suit you and your purse.


There are various types of cosmetic lenses. Tinted lenses are tinted to shades of different colors. These are used to tinge the eye a different color or change the depth of a color of an eye.  

Opaque lenses, on the other hand, are intended to change eye color entirely. These are so designed that they change the color of an eye by masking the underlying color completely. (For example a brown eyed person can be made to look completely blue eyed.) 

Thus the eye can be made to appear any color, or even if desired of combination of colors (for instance, brown streaked with green or blue streaked with grey). All these usually have a central clear section for the pupil and a grave color over the iris area so that the vision of the wearer is not changed. 

Then there are lenses with dot matrix prints, there are gradient tinted lens… phew, the variety of these cosmetic lenses is indeed mind-boggling. Moreover, some of these colored contacts have a UV protection filter which protects the eyes.

Color contacts have become immensely popular and trendy and there is such a great demand that many retailers sell them online. Buying colored lenses online, especially in bulk, is a lot cheaper.

But in almost all countries, including the US, it is mandatory to get a prescription from a licensed optometrist, immaterial of whether you have any vision defects or not.

In case you do have perfect vision, you will be prescribed what is called as ‘plano’ lens. In order to purchase contacts online, you have to enter the prescription information. This is to ensure that the lenses shipped out are the right fit and of the right power so that they do not cause any problems.

Do not ever buy colored lens without a prescription or from unscrupulous sources. You will only be putting your eyes at risk.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
