We thank God for celebrities like Nicki Minaj who are bringing colour contact lenses back in style! So what if everyone can tell that that’s not your natural eye colour? If it brings you joy, then wear them with your head held high. Apart from the aesthetics, most people who aren’t blessed with 20/20 vision wear contacts as an alternative to glasses. If you’re new to the world of contact lenses, here’s a quick crash course on everything you need to know — including our recommendations for the best colour contact lenses in Malaysia.

The Different Types of Colour Contact Lenses

Before you go shopping for the prettiest colour contact lenses you can find, remember that there are various types available on the market. It’s up to you to figure out which one suits your eye requirements the most. There are different lenses designed to correct multiple types of eyesight issues, with the ones down below being the most popular:

  • Myopia or hyperopia lenses: These spherical lenses are designed to correct nearsightedness or farsightedness, providing clear vision at various distances.
  • Multifocal lenses: Enables wearers to see clearly at both near and far distances, and are designed for presbyopia or age-related vision changes.
  • Astigmatism lenses: These cylindrical lenses correct irregular curvature in the eye with varying power in different parts of the lens.

You must also choose between daily and monthly lenses, depending on your lifestyle and needs. Daily lenses are convenient, as you can throw them out after each use. They’re ideal for first-time wearers or those who switch between glasses and contacts occasionally. Daily lenses are also safer in terms of hygiene since they reduce the risk of deposit build-up and eye infections.

Inversely, monthly lenses require regular cleaning and proper storage. They’re more suitable for full-time wearers as they’re more cost-effective over a month. However, monthly lenses require meticulous care to avoid contact lens toxicity and infections, so if you opt for them, prepare to do plenty of homework on proper lens care!
