What is one of the first features you notice when looking at someone’s face?
The answer should be: “Their eyes, of course”.
It has been said that eye color is the feature people most notice about men and women. You may hear one woman/man talking to another, about a persons eyes saying “Would you say his/her eyes are greenish blue, or more of a bluish green?”.
Men may wax poetic on a womens eye color. He might say, “Her eyes are like pools of light”, or that she has big, beautiful doe eyes.

Tips on how to wear contact lenses . This site talks about contact lens wearing guidelines and includes several quick tips for your information.

Discover Your New Color

Some of us may be less than satisfied with our natural eye color. Luckily, we have color contacts to change all that today. Not more than fifty years ago, if a person didn’t like their eye color, it was just too bad, because there was nothing you could do.
But today color contacts allows you to change the entire feeling and look of your eyes.
If you have light skin and eyes, you may want dark contacts to provide a mysterious and exotic look.
Dark skinned and dark haired people may want blue or green contacts, which give a pleasing brightness to the face
The general rule of thumb is to choose a color which contrasts with your natural complexion , making your eyes stand out in a crowd.

Contrary to popular belief, not all color contacts are uncomfortable. A new, gel-like material is on the market today. With a soft, breathable, and airy quality to it, some people swear they can not even feel it.

When getting a new pair of color contacts, always keep in mind that you will need an eye examination to determine if you need a prescription lens. Some people have a slight curvature of the eye, known as astigmatism (is when an optical system has different foci for rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes) . In this case, a non-prescription lens could prove uncomfortable or downright painful. If you’ve had an eye exam quite recently, your optometrist may just fill your last prescription for your new color contacts.
