Change Eye Color Without Surgery

Make your brown eyes blue with color contact lenses.


Although some people may only want to accentuate the natural color of their eyes, others actually want to change their eye color. Rather than go the route of an invasive surgical procedure to change your eye color permanently, there is a safer and less costly alternative. You can instantly change the color of your eyes by wearing color contact lenses. Color lenses are an affordable and easy way to give your eyes a different yet natural-looking color. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Schedule an appointment with an eye-care professional, as a prescription is required for color contact lenses whether or not you have vision problems. Although color contacts are available to people who may have excellent eyesight, the lenses still need to be fitted properly. The optometrist must also make sure that wearing contacts will not cause any future problems with your eyes. Color contact lenses are even available for those who have astigmatism or need bifocals.


2. Make your own eye color more intense by wearing enhancement-tinted contact lenses. The translucent tint changes eye color by enhancing the natural color of your eyes. Since this type of lens does not really change the color of your eyes, enhancement tints usually work best for people with light-colored eyes who only want to deepen their natural eye color. Enhancement lenses, which are available in tints of blue, green or gray, can make your own eye color look brighter or simply give your eyes a subtler, slightly different hue.


3. Change your eye color completely with opaque tinted contact lenses. Although individuals who have either light or dark eyes can wear opaque lenses, people who have brown eyes normally wear this type of color lens. Opaque lenses are usually available in shades of blue, green, gray or brown.


4. Ask your eye doctor to prescribe disposable color lenses, especially if you are not sure about the color. That way, you can replace them in a few weeks and try another shade if the color turns out not to be right for you. Both enhancement lenses and opaque color contacts come as weekly or monthly disposables, depending on the brand name. Some color contacts such as Acuvue 2 Colors, manufactured by Johnson & Johnson, are FDA-approved and can be worn continuously for a week, even while you are sleeping. Disposable color contacts may also be healthier for your eyes than traditional color lenses because you are replacing them more often.
