Which colour contact lenses suit dark brown eyes?

Dark brown eyes need a fully opaque lens, because sheer enhancement tints disappear against a dark iris. Grey, blue and green show the strongest change. Honey and amber give a warmer result that still reads clearly on brown eyes.

Which colour contact lenses suit hazel or light brown eyes?

Light brown and hazel eyes let some natural colour show through at the pupil edge, which keeps the result looking natural. Green and honey work with the warm flecks already present, while grey cools the eye down for a bigger visible change.

Which colour contact lenses suit blue or green eyes?

Light eyes show almost any lens colour. Moving to a warm shade such as brown, hazel or honey is the most dramatic change available. Grey is the most subtle.

Do I need a prescription for colour contact lenses in Australia?

Our colour lenses are plano, meaning they contain no vision correction, so no prescription is required to order them. We still recommend a fitting with an optometrist before your first wear.

How long can I wear colour contact lenses each day?

Wear them for a maximum of eight hours a day. Never sleep in them, never share them with anyone, and never rinse them in tap water.

What is the difference between subtle and bold colour lenses?

Three tone and Hidrocor style lenses blend three shades across the iris with a soft outer ring, so the edge does not read as a hard circle. Single tone lenses give flat, high saturation colour and are far more noticeable.

Which colour contact lenses suit your eye colour?

The single thing that decides whether a colour lens works is opacity, not price. Every lens we sell is opaque enough to cover a dark iris, which is why the quiz above asks about your natural eye colour first.

Colour contact lenses for dark brown eyes

Dark brown eyes need a fully opaque lens. Sheer or enhancement tints are designed to deepen an existing light colour and will disappear on brown eyes. Grey, blue and green read strongest, because they sit furthest from your natural colour. Honey and amber give a warmer change that still shows clearly.

Colour contact lenses for light brown and hazel eyes

Light brown and hazel eyes let some of your own colour show through at the pupil edge, which is what makes the result look natural. Green and honey work with the warm flecks already there. Grey cools the whole eye down and is the biggest visible change without going bold.

Colour contact lenses for blue and green eyes

Light eyes show almost any lens colour, so the choice is about how far you want to move. Going warm, into brown, hazel or honey, is the most dramatic change available to you. Grey is the subtlest.

Subtle versus bold

Not all colour lenses are costume loud. Three tone and Hidrocor style lenses blend three shades across the iris with a soft outer ring, so the edge of the lens does not read as a hard circle. Single tone lenses give flat, high saturation colour and are the ones people notice from across a room.

Wearing them safely

Wear colour lenses for a maximum of eight hours a day. Never sleep in them, never share them, and never rinse them in tap water. Our lenses are CE marked, KFDA approved and made in an ISO 13485 certified facility. If your eyes sting, water or go red, take the lenses out and see an optometrist.
