Violet Contact Lenses

Violet contact lenses are great for both fancy dress and everyday use. For example, you could use them to capture the look of Elizabeth Taylor or maybe even in one of her iconic roles such as Cleopatra.

You can also refresh your everyday style by changing to violet contact lenses, adding a burst of vibrant colour that is sure to turn a few heads. Paler shades can also have more of a subtle effect if you're not looking to make a big statement.

If it's the first time you've worn contact lenses, you should visit an optician for a fitting. After this you'll get a prescription with all your measurements (even if you don't have any problem with your eyesight) that you can use to order online.

When you're choosing violet contact lenses, remember that your eye shade will affect how well they work. Paler hues will work well with light eyes, but if your eyes are dark they probably won't have as much impact. To make a significant change, you should look for strong shades of violet.

The two main differences between the various violet contact lenses are the wearing pattern that they're designed for and the kind of tint they have.

• Enhancement tinted lenses: If you want to bring out your natural eye colour or make a subtle change, these lenses are ideal.
• Opaque tinted lenses: These lenses have a thicker tint and can be used to make dramatic shifts from one colour to another.
• Daily contact lenses: Daily contact lenses are designed to be worn for one day and thrown away, offering a fresh feeling each day.
• Monthly contact lenses: You can wear a pair of monthly lenses for 30 consecutive days, provided you clean them each night.
