Frequently Asked Questions
Eyes are the window to the soul, so why not make them look as beautiful as possible?
Just like if you were to head out for a night on the town, you’d accessorize with jewelry, makeup, and a stylish outfit.
Colored contacts are no different. They can be just the thing to pull a look together and get you standing out from the crowd.
Wearing color contact lenses has several uses. You could be wanting to wear them to get the eye color you’ve always desired, put them on daily for a bit of extra sparkle, or apply them to give your outfit a little something extra. Either way, colored contacts are accessories with edges. No one knows you’re wearing them, but people will still be able to tell there’s something special about the way you look.
On top of all that, they’re comfortable and easy to apply. Is there another accessory that could give you all that?

We can’t emphasize enough the proper care and cleaning of your colored contact lenses. Another great option is to switch to a daily disposable contact lens while the threat of Coronavirus is high. These are a more hygienic option as they are only inserted and removed once and do not require cleaning. Along with efficient handwashing practices, disposable lenses might just be the difference between staying healthy all season long and a lengthy bout of illness with cold, flu, or even Coronavirus.
Unfortunately, colored contact lenses aren’t for everyone. For example, if you suffer from dry eye syndrome, contacts may not be for you. Those who are severely nearsighted may not be able to find contact lenses with a strong enough prescription to fully correct their vision.
Also, some people are allergic to the contact cleaning solution, or even the contacts themselves. As daily cleaning of contact lenses is crucial to eye health for contact wearers, an allergy to the cleaning solution poses a very real issue.
Some doctors recommend that diabetic patients avoid contact lenses as they may be more prone to infection and have more difficulty recovering from infection. Children’s eyes are particularly sensitive and fragile and wearing contacts at a young age could cause eye damage.
People suffering from the following should not wear colored contact lenses, as these eye conditions may be further irritated by inserting lenses:
Any eye infections (Such as conjunctivitis)
Any corneal conditions (Such as keratitis)
Any allergic eye conditions (Such as hayfever)
Any chronic disease of the eye (Such as glaucoma)
Here are a few dos and don’ts when it comes to colored contact lens safety.
✅ DO consult your optician or eye doctor before wearing/purchasing a pair of our lenses.
✅ DO wash and dry your hands whenever you handle your lenses or attempt insertion/removal.
✅ DO soak your lenses for two hours in solution prior to inserting them into your eye.
✅ DO wash your lenses in solution if they touch anything besides your eyes.
✅ DO keep your lenses case clean and regularly change the eye care solution.
✅ DO remove the contacts before you go to sleep, bathe, shower or partake in water sports.
✅ DO remove the lenses if you feel any unexpected irritation, soreness or notice redness or excessive eye watering.
✅ DO seek medical advice if you notice any of the conditions mentioned above.
❌ DO NOT use lenses after the recommended duration (E.g., 1 day, 90 days, 1 year). No, refrigerating/freezing them does NOT increase their life span.
❌ DO NOT use tap water, saliva or household products to clean the lenses, only the eye care solution.
❌ DO NOT let the contacts come into contact with any cosmetic products i.e., makeup, deodorants, hair sprays.
❌ DO NOT attempt to insert lenses that seem damaged, broken or torn or in any way compromised.
❌ DO NOT insert more than one pair of lenses into your eye at one time.
❌ DO NOT share lenses with another person.
Any uncertainties or concerns when using contact lenses should be discussed with an eye care specialist or optician. Ensure you know all the tips and tricks before you get started with a pair of colored contact lenses.
Thankfully for those needing vision correction, prescription colored contacts exist. The lenses made for myopia (nearsightedness) cost the same as their non-prescription counterparts.
Aprileye stocks lenses with prescription strengths from 0.0 to -12.00, so you are all set whether you have natural 20/20 vision or need serious correction in order to work productively and drive safely. Toric colored contacts, which correct astigmatism, usually cost more as they are built to fit the eye of the wearer by more precise specifications.
