Are contacts lenses hard to take care of?
It differs from lens to lens. Soft contact lenses like the ones we sell here are to be rubbed and rinsed at the end of the day, then soaked in disinfecting solution until they're worn again. They require daily cleaning/disinfection and weekly enzyming.

Warning! Even though your contact lenses are shipped factory sealed and sterile, if you fail to use good hygiene or the recommended solutions correctly, you may cause an eye infection.

Also, do not open the contact lens vials unless you have the proper solutions and a lens storage case. Never share your contact lenses with others or use their color contact lenses.

Have Any Helpful Tips and Information for New Contact Lens Wearers?
Before opening your lenses and removing them from the sterile container they were shipped in, make sure you have your contact lens storage solution, case, and cleaning supplies on hand. Contact lenses need to be stored correctly to avoid bacteria getting onto the lenses and into the eyes and causing infection.

INSERTION- Always wash and dry your hands before handling your contact lenses. Remove the lens from the package. Make it a habit of handling the right lens first which will prevent you from mixing up the lenses. Place the lens on your index finger. Check that the lens is clean and the right side is up. Hold your upper lid open with your left hand's index and second finger. At the same time hold your lower lid open with the second finger of your right hand. Look straight at your eye in the mirror, and slowly and gently place the lens on your eye. Then carefully release your eyelids and blink. You can gently massage your eyelid to center the lens.

REMOVAL- Look up and hold your lower lid down. Pull the lens downwards, and gently with your index finger and your thumb pinch the edges of the lens and remove it from your eye.

DISINFECTION- Always before inserting the lens and after removing it from the eye, rinse the lens with contact lenses solution (Bausch & Lomb's "RENU" solution or Alcon's "OPTIFREE Express" solution). After wearing your lenses, store them in a case filled with fresh contact lens solution. If you do wear your lenses infrequently, change the contact lens solution in the case with fresh solution once a week.

Do's and Don'ts

  • Always wash your hands before handling contact lenses, and be sure your contact lenses are clean as well.
  • Clean, rinse, disinfect and soak your contact lenses with lens solution. E.g. Bausch & Lomb's "RENU" solution or Alcon's "OPTIFREE Express" solution, to maintain sterility when not wearing the contact lenses. Always handle your right lens first and your left lens last.
  • Do not let hair spray or other cosmetic aerosols come in contact with your lenses.
  • Put your contact lenses in after applying hair products like hairspray, and before applying cosmetics, especially eye makeup.
  • Remove your lenses before taking your makeup off.
  • Do not lend your lenses to anyone. They are only for one patient at a time.
  • Do not participate in any water sport with your lenses on.
  • Remove your lenses before going to sleep. Your cornea may not get the necessary oxygen while you are sleeping.
  • Insert your lenses before putting makeup on.
  • If you work in a hazardous environment, or with chemicals, you should not wear contact lenses to work. Gases and solutions can get behind your lenses and cause permanent eye damage.
  • Make sure you don't catch a contact lens in between the edge of your case and the top of the case.
  • Push the contact to the bottom of the case before closing the lid on that side.
  • If one eye starts to bother you more than the other, switch it by placing it on the different eye for a few minutes to determine if your lens is bad. If, during the switch, the same lens continues to bother you, you probably are over-wearing the contact lens and need to give your eyes a rest.
  • Try cleaning the contact lens. If cleaning doesn't help, the contact lens will probably need to be replaced.
  • If your eyes get red and irritated or if you feel any pain remove your lense and contact your eyecare practitioner.
  • Keep your contacts either in your eyes or in your case.
  • Remember regular check-ups and always follow the advise of your eyecare practitioner.

Most Important Rules
Only sterile normal saline solution and hydrogen peroxide should ever come in contact with your soft lenses. If you are using a commercial preparation -- follow the instructions for that preparation. Please remember the great majority of the problems we see with contact lenses are due to improper cleaning and handling.

How Do I Choose the Right Color?
This is usually the most difficult question for a first-time wearer! And it all boils down to this:

What kind of person are you?

I want people to notice my new eye color and ask me about it. If you are bold, dramatic, and comfortable being the center of attention, then you want eye color that everyone notices immediately.

So, for instance:

  • If your natural eye color is brown, you might choose contact lenses in violet, green, or blue.
  • If your skin, hair, and natural eye colors have cool, blue-red undertones, you might choose a warm-toned contact lens such as light brown.
  • If your skin is dark, you might choose bright-colored lenses.
  • Do you wear eye makeup? Choose a contact lens color that will stand out from the shadow and mascara colors you like to wear.
  • I want people to notice that I look different but not know exactly why. If you are shy and retiring or just want a natural look, you may be happier with a more subtle change.
  • If your natural eye color is blue, you might choose contact lenses in gray or green.
  • If your skin, hair, makeup and natural eye colors are warm-toned, you might choose a warm color contact lens such as hazel to match and blend in.
  • Also, will you be wearing your color contact lenses every day? Or just for special occasions? If it's the latter, then you might want a color that's very different from your normal color.

The biggest thing to remember for people with darker eyes is that our color blending lenses will not be as effective as with people with lighter eyes. You will still see a difference but we get a complaint every now and then from people who do not do any research or speak with their eye doctor about picking the proper colors. We feel bad that they do not work, but we cannot help when people don't contact us or do a little research.

Interesting Side Notes
The personality trait most associated with brown eyes is intelligence, according to a survey of U.S. women ages 16 to 35. Besides intelligence (34%), brown eyes also convey trustworthiness (16%) and kindness (13%), said respondents.

Blue-eyed people are seen to exude sweetness (42%), sexiness (21%), and kindness (10%). And green eyes are associated with sexiness (29%), creativity (25%), and deviousness (20%).

Sixty percent of the respondents said they'd like to change their eye color, with 27% choosing green. Then came purple (26%) and blue (18%). Turquoise, gray, honey, and brown were the next choices, in that order.

What is the power (strength) on these contacts?
All of the lenses sold here are 0.00 strength, non-prescription lenses.

Will the lenses fit my eyes?
The lenses are Prooptic brand lenses and made to fit most eyes. More specifically, the Base Curve is 8.6 and the Diameter is 14.5.

How long does it take for my order to be processed and shipped?
Orders received before noon are shipped from our distributor typically that same day, however, please allow up to 2 days for your order to be shipped, as the processing time depends on the volume of orders we receive. Usually orders are processed and shipped more quickly than the 2 days we allow.

How many lenses do I receive for the price?
Our lenses are all sold by the pair - Two lenses total.

What colors are available in the Bulk lenses?
All our colors are available to purchase in bulk.

What do I do if I need to exchange/return my lenses?
If you need to exchange for a different color choice you will need to contact our customer service at: sales@coloredcontacts4cheap.com. We are only able to accept exchanges on lenses that are unopened. If your lenses are opened we are unable to accept them due to sanitary purposes.

What brand of lenses do you offer?
All of the lenses we currently sell are Innovision brand lenses.

How long will the lenses last? (are they disposable?)
The lenses are intended to be worn up to one year with Optimal care. Many customers have noted that they extend the life of their lenses if they aren't wearing their lenses every day and if they care for them properly. After this time period it is necessary to dispose of your lenses.
