The third way is different  from the before two ways, which color the lens in the middle of a layer of the lens. Using this way also can solve the fade problem, and this product type is simple, as well as can give you a comfortable feeling when wearing contact lenses.

Contact lenses materials

However, considering the wearing feeling, lens fitness, lens moisture and softness, we mainly choose silicone hydrogel materials.

1. Single tone means that there is only one color in contact lenses. Usually, the black and brown types are very famous.
2. Two tones lenses mainly add to a black or dark outer ring, which mainly offers the enlarging effect, and make your eyes look more sparkling.
3. Three tones contact lenses add another color than two tones contact lenses. There also have several types you can choose from.
4. Four tones colored contact lenses add another color than three tunes, besides the color 3 tunes hold, it also increases the gray or black outer ring to provide the enlarging effect.

OTR

For some new friends in contact lenses, sometimes, you will feel uncomfortable when wearing colored contact lenses, one of the reasons may be your corneal  is short of oxygen. Under normal conditions, our corneal needs to breathe. When the contact lenses’ OTR is not up to standard, maybe your eyes will not feel well. So when you choose your new contact lenses, you need to take the OTR into account carefully.

2. Due to different wear place, for example, the frame glasses are on the front of your eyes, while the contact lenses are so near to corneal that don’t have the distance effect like frame glasses, in some degree, for myopia, the degree of contact lenses is less than frame glasses.
3. Ensure to pinch off your contact lenses when swimming just to avoid these microorganisms in the water will pollute the lens.
