One-day colour contact lenses review

I am not going to lie -  it was pure vanity that inspired me to buy coloured contact lenses. My eyes are a mix of grey, blue and green and I was always curious what the colour contacts could do for me. I gave it a shot one day and I ordered on www.lensonline.be (previously www.myoptic24.be, the two merged together) CIBAVISION FRESHLOOK one-day contact lenses in blue and green, thinking how riveting the look of my eyes will become.

Little did I know! I popped them on and immediately felt huge discomfort. The trouble was, I saw everything blurry and as a result, my head felt dizzy. What happened was that the coloured section partially covered the pupil, effectively depriving me of a clear vision....

As for the colour effect...yes, the original eye colour somewhat transformed, making whichever hue (in my case green or blue) more prominent. I do not believe, though, that the intensity of the colour would be enough to make my grey eyes brown, had I decided to try the brown tinted ones...In fact, the change in colour was so subtle, that none of my friends noticed it. 'Nuff said!

Contact lenses - a tip for an online shop

I happen to be blind as a bat: - 4 myopic to be exact. After fifteen years of wearing monthly contacts (and buying litres of disinfecting solution) I finally took a leap of faith towards daily contact lenses and I have not regretted it.

Dailies - disposable contact lenses - are not only very convenient for travelling but they are also more hygienic (no danger of protein deposits) and are generally a "healthier" option.  I work in an office and my eyes are sensitive to air-conditioning, what sometimes used to result in conjuctivitis.

For years I was put off by their price, but now I am happy to report that a pair of contacts costs 1 EUR/day. I order at: http://www.lensonline.be/, 90 contact lenses cost 45,50 EUR with delivery (Cibavision).
