Regular Contact Lens vs. Colored Contact Lens

More and more people have chosen to wear contact lenses in recent years, but many people have some concerns about choosing regular contact lenses or colored contact lenses. They believe that regular contact lenses are healthier and safer than colored contact lenses. Nevertheless, Lensweets adopts the technology of “Sandwich Pad Printing.” This production process completely isolates the pigment from the cornea, ensuring the contact lens pigment’s stability and safety, effectively protecting eye health. Therefore, you can rest assured to choose Lensweets colored contact lenses.

If you pursue fashion and beauty more, we recommend choosing colored contact lenses. From the appeal of use, colored contact lenses can change the color of the iris and enhance the eyes’ radiance. At the same time, it can match your different makeup and clothing styles to improve and change your temperament, which has better decorative and fashionable properties. Moreover, colored contact lenses can correct myopia, achieving the effect of beauty and correction in one. The function of regular contact lenses includes vision correction, astigmatism correction, and others. They are generally transparent.

Water Content Selection

Water content is the proportion of water in the contact lens. We generally define high water contact lenses as those with greater than 50% water content. However, water content is not higher the better.

Lenses with a high water content are softer and are very comfortable in the first few hours. However, the soft material is more challenging to wear, which is more complicated for beginners to handle. And it is also easier to deposit proteins and breed bacteria. If you are a person who has less tear secretion, faces the computer for a long time, lives in a low-humidity area, or stays in an air-conditioned room for a long time, you will feel dry after wearing it for a long time, and it won’t be easy to take it off. Therefore, contact lenses with high water content are generally suitable for short-term use, such as daily use. Lenses with a lower water content will be harder and have lower oxygen permeability. So it is suitable for most environments and people.

In conclusion, the choice of water content requires you to consider your eye conditions and environmental conditions. Most Lensweets colored contact lenses have a water content between 38% and 42%, which are easy to handle and can keep comfortable for up to 8 hours.
