Buy Coloured Contact Lenses Online

Coloured contact lenses, as the name suggests, are contact lenses which are designed to temporarily change the appearance, or colour, of your eyes. They can be vision correcting (prescription lenses), or cosmetic lenses, designed strictly to give you a different look for a short period of time.

Coloured contact lenses are extremely popular for dress-up events such as Halloween and Comic Cons amongst cosplayers and anime lovers. They're also regularly used in photoshoots, film and theatre.

All of the coloured contact lenses sold here at Lensmate are strictly cosmetic.

Absolutely - coloured contact lenses work in exactly the same way as standard contact lenses, except that they're sold without any vision correcting abilities, or prescription, and are strictly designed and sold for cosmetic purposes - to temporarily alter your appearance with an alternative eye colour.

You will have full clear vision in the majority of coloured contact lenses sold here at Lensmate, although there are some exceptions to this, such as blackout contact lenses which colour more of the eye.

Yes - coloured contact lenses are safe to wear as long as they're cared for correctly.

You need to soak your new coloured lenses in a clean case with a quality contact lens cleaning solution before placing them into your eyes, and then they must be thoroughly cleaned before each use.

Eye irritation can occur with the usage of contact lenses, whether coloured or not, or whether prescription or cosmetic, and if this happens it's best to remove them immediately allow your eyes time to recover. This is a very rare side effect of coloured contact usage, but it can happen occasionally.

When you buy coloured contact lenses online from a contact lens supplier such as ourselves it's important to know that you are not buying prescription contact lenses. We don't currently sell lenses to correct vision although this is something we're hoping we can offer in the future.

It's also important to know that contact lenses require thorough cleaning and care, both before and between usage in order to protect your eyes from any chance of irritation or infection.

Also, colour can vary depending on your current eye colour, so you probably should expect to try a few different contact lens colours before discovering a colour that works for you personally.

Coloured contact lenses can be worn for the amount of time stated on the box of lenses you purchased, and if that purchase is made from ourselves then the answer is almost always one year.

Almost all of the coloured eye lenses sold here at Lensmate have 1 year wear time.

You can wear the lenses for up to 12 hours each day, as long as they feel comfortable for.

Each night your contact lenses need to be taken out of your eyes carefully and then soaked in a quality cleaning solution in a case overnight. In the morning you will then be able to wear the contact lenses again. As long as good cleaning and hygiene are maintained, you are safe to repeat this.

For those who are purchasing coloured contact lenses for special events or photoshoots, you will need to ensure that you store your contacts correctly until your next wear too. Keep them in a lens case filled with clean solution, and before you wish to wear them again rinse well in new solution before wearing.

Because you can wear our lenses here at Lensmate multiple times, our contacts work out at extremely good value for money; we are much cheaper than our competitors for yearly wear lenses!

This is not recommended.

Although coloured contact lenses are packaged in an extremely clean environment, there's always a chance that contaminants could reach your new lenses upon opening them at home.

Our recommendation is that you should always soak your new contact lenses in a quality contact lens solution overnight in a clean case before placing them into your eyes. Although frustrating, this will ensure that you avoid the possibility of any eye infections or irritation from usage.

No - you should never sleep with contact lenses in your eyes, whether cosmetic or prescription.

Sleeping with coloured contact lenses in your eyes can cause your eyes to become dehydrated and starved of oxygen which could lead to a nasty infection. Get into a good routine with lens removal before bedtime, maybe when you're brushing your teeth or removing makeup, to avoid any harmful eye issues.

Always store your contact lenses in a clean case with fresh cleaning solution to maintain hygiene.

If, by accident, you do fall asleep with coloured contact lenses in your eyes, remove them and use some quality eye drops as soon as you wake up in the morning. Also dispose of the lenses.

At Lensmate we stock well over 300 different styles and colours of lenses, and our selection of natural coloured contact lenses is quite vast, enabling you to get a lens suitable for every day wear.

Try our blue contact lenses, brown contact lenses or hazel contact lenses.

We stock a wide variety of lens colours and many are highly pigmented to enable them to completely cover your natural eye colour.

This means that if you have naturally dark eyes, the contact lenses will still change your eye colour temporarily.

We have a whole collection dedicated to coloured contacts that will cover dark eyes here.
