If you’ve got dark eyes and have always wanted to sport lighter ones, you are far from alone! With over 50% of the world having brown eyes, you can be assured that most colored contacts out there are designed for brown eyes. However, that does not mean every colored contact lens will create the look you’re imagining. EyeCandys offers a collection of lenses designed for dark-eye coverage so you can get those bright, vivid eyes you’ve been craving! The Pink Label Shade series offers options in brown, green, blue, and grey designed for maximum coverage. EyeCandys Desire lenses will also help you achieve the lighter look you’ve always desired!

Although our colored contacts are designed for beauty, your safety is what we put at the forefront of our minds. Our team carefully assesses every product we design and sell, ensuring they’re safe to wear and manufactured with the highest quality standards. The products we carry have certifications from the FDA (US Drug and Food Administration), Health Canada, KDFA (Korean Drug and Food Administration), and/or CE (Conformité Européenne) 1023.

So you can rest assured when shopping with Eyecandy’s that any color contact lenses you purchase from our site are completely safe to use with proper care!

Unfortunately, colored contact lenses aren’t for everyone. For example, if you suffer from dry eye syndrome, contacts may not be for you. Those who are severely nearsighted may not be able to find contact lenses with a strong enough prescription to fully correct their vision.

Also, some people are allergic to the contact cleaning solution, or even the contacts themselves. As daily cleaning of contact lenses is crucial to eye health for contact wearers, an allergy to the cleaning solution poses a very real issue.

Some doctors recommend that diabetic patients avoid contact lenses as they may be more prone to infection and have more difficulty recovering from infection. Children’s eyes are particularly sensitive and fragile and wearing contacts at a young age could cause eye damage.

People suffering from the following should not wear colored contact lenses, as these eye conditions may be further irritated by inserting lenses:

• Any eye infections (Such as conjunctivitis)
• Any corneal conditions (Such as keratitis)
• Any allergic eye conditions (Such as hayfever)
• Any chronic disease of the eye (Such as glaucoma)

Here are a few dos and don’ts when it comes to colored contact lens safety.

✅ DO consult your optician or eye doctor before wearing/purchasing a pair of our lenses.

✅ DO wash and dry your hands whenever you handle your lenses or attempt insertion/removal.

✅ DO soak your lenses for two hours in solution prior to inserting them into your eye.

✅ DO wash your lenses in solution if they touch anything besides your eyes.

✅ DO keep your lenses case clean and regularly change the eye care solution.

✅ DO remove the contacts before you go to sleep, bathe, shower or partake in water sports.

✅ DO remove the lenses if you feel any unexpected irritation, soreness or notice redness or excessive eye watering.

✅ DO seek medical advice if you notice any of the conditions mentioned above.

❌ DO NOT use lenses after the recommended duration (E.g. 1 day, 90 days, 1 year). No, refrigerating/freezing them does NOT increase their life span.

❌ DO NOT use tap water, saliva or household products to clean the lenses, only the eye care solution.

❌ DO NOT let the contacts come into contact with any cosmetic products i.e. makeup, deodorants, hair sprays.

❌ DO NOT attempt to insert lenses that seem damaged, broken or torn or in any way compromised.

❌ DO NOT insert more than one pair of lenses into your eye at one time.

❌ DO NOT share lenses with another person.

Any uncertainties or concerns when using contact lenses should be discussed with an eye care specialist or optician. Ensure you know all the dos and don'ts before you get started with a pair of colored contact lenses.

Thankfully for those needing vision correction, prescription colored contacts exist. The lenses made for myopia (nearsightedness) cost the same as their non-prescription counterparts. EyeCandy’s stocks lenses with prescription strengths from 0.0 to -12.00, so you are all set whether you have natural 20/20 vision or need serious correction in order to work productively and drive safely. Toric colored contacts, which correct astigmatism, usually cost more as they are built to fit the eye of the wearer by more precise specifications.

We stock a variety of lenses made from many different materials. One popular option is silicone hydrogel. Silicone is a soft material and these gel lenses offer a higher oxygen permeability, meaning they feel more natural and comfortable. They maintain this oxygen permeability and moisture longer than traditional lenses. It’s actually the same material used to bandage the eye as part of many treatments. This does not mean you don’t have to care for them just as you would any other contact lens.

The best brand of colored contact lenses depends on your personal needs. EyeCandy’s offers a wide variety of brands - but all with some commonalities so you can trust any lenses you order from our site. We’re picky about the brands we stock and ensure that all pass federal health and safety standards. It’s best to consult with your eye doctor, as he or she will know what materials, sizes, prescriptions, etc. are best for you. From there, you can browse our many well-known, high quality brands. We even have our own EyeCandy’s branded lenses to provide you with high-quality contacts at an even better value!

Glasses and contact lens prescriptions are not the same. You cannot use the same power for both. That’s when a vertex conversion chart for contact lenses comes in. They are extremely useful tools that all eye doctors use when determining how to convert glasses prescription to contacts.

This chart includes different figures for you to compare. The first thing you do is finding out your glasses prescription figures. These are then ‘back vertexed’ using the chart to turn them into a figure that allows you to find the correct contact lenses for you.

Vertex conversion charts are pretty simple to use. You just have to know where to look and understand what the columns mean. The ‘glasses lens power’ column refers to the power on your current glasses prescription. If this figure is negative, then you’ll be converted to the figure on the left of this column. If the figure is positive, then your converted figure is on the right. See our full article here.

Once you’ve established it is in fact ripped, you should throw it away. There’s no saving it, so you need to cut your losses and move on. If you’re preparing for a big night out, maybe purchase more than one set, just in case one rips during application — as it’s common with every brand of lenses.

Similar to if your lens rips before you apply, if it rips while you’re wearing it, then you should carefully remove it and then throw it away immediately. If you remove your lens, and it rips in the process, resulting in a small piece getting stuck in your eye, then there are other methods you can use. Try to find the torn piece and slide it to the outside corner of your eye using the tip of your finger. If this is possible, it can be easier to pull it out. However, if you cannot find it or move it, then it’s best to see a professional straight away. They’ll be able to use a microscope to help and remove it safely.
