If you have been wearing toric contact lenses, why not add some color to your life with colored toric lenses? The lenses are made from the same material as common contact lenses. They can either be soft or rigid gas permeable (RGP). You can get toric colored lenses in blue, green, brown, grey, violet, and shades that are in between. As a matter of fact, you can even get colored toric lenses that look like cats’ eyes or anything else that you can think of. These are great for Halloween or any parties where you really want to stand out from the crowd.

Types Of Lenses

There are two kinds of colored toric lenses. Some that have to be removed every day before you go to bed and will last you around a year as long as you keep up with the cleaning routine and those that you can wear for around a week without removing them from your eyes. At the end of the seven day period, they are usually tossed out and a new pair worn. Their life can be prolonged to around two weeks if you are willing to go through the clean and store routine on a daily basis.

Choose Your Color

You can find colored toric lenses in just about any color but just in case you cannot find one that meets your taste, you can have your lenses custom made. However judging by the price of normal lenses which retail around the $120.00 mark, you can expect to pay quite a deal more for custom made lenses.

Get Your Eye Doctor’s Opinion

If you are interested in purchasing colored toric lenses, you should contact your eye doctor prior to doing so. You must also take note that toric colored contacts will be quite a bit more expensive than normal toric lenses and that colored lenses might not be suitable for your eyes after all. However paying a visit to your eye specialist should put your mind completely at rest and will be well worth your time.

Where To Buy

With the help of the Internet, today you can purchase contact lenses without leaving your house. Just enter the search term buy colored toric lenses in your favorite search engine and you should find various merchants all offering the service that you are after. All you will require is your prescription and usually a credit card and they will ship your lenses straight to your door usually within 2 to 4 weeks. It also pays to visit a few sites before deciding as many of them do offer discounts.

Can Colored Toric Lenses Damage Your Eyes?

Wearing colored toric lenses is not unlike wearing normal contact lenses for that matter. As with any contact lenses, a strict cleaning and storing regime must be followed if you want your eyes to stay infection free and to be able to enjoy clear vision for a long time to come. You should also try to limit the number of hours that the contact are worn to around 10 hours and never go to bed without taking them off. Follow these simple steps and you should not have any troubles at all.
