contact lenses and you'd like to see an entire introductory series for contacts

up in the YouTube description below if you want to check that out
now in this video we're gonna be going over daily colored contact lenses really
the benefits of having a daily colored lens versus some of the other lenses
they're out there and we'll go over the different lens colors that are available
and how these ones might actually be more beneficial in terms of that kind of
natural color appearance to the I know it comes to colored contact lenses there
are many different colored options out there many different brands many
different kind of styles whether you're looking for like a theatrical lens one
that really stands out and is almost used for like Halloween or dressing up
in costume or if you're looking for something that's more subtle and more
natural looking something that will enhance your eye color which is really
beneficial if you're somebody who likes to go out if you just like to mix things
up if you're kind of an artistic person then I think these type of lenses are
awesome colored lenses are really fun to try out but in terms of the different
types of soft lenses that are out there that actually come in colored options a
lot of the really old designs for colored lenses out there on the market
are like yearly lenses like you get one lens and a pass to a full year but those
generally are not healthy for the eyes they're really old technology I mean
talking like 1960s technology but definitely in the last decade more
options for healthier colored lenses have come out and that includes monthly
lenses such as the air optics colors this is a monthly contact lens with all
a lot of different options but now thankfully the healthiest lens that you
can basically be wearing at this point that comes in a color option into my
knowledge is the only one on the market and that is now the new dailies colors
really the benefits of having a daily color contact lenses and monthly lens
falls down to comfort being daily lenses are generally more comfortable
the monthly lenses tend to build up kind of a residue on the surface of the lens
and then you're putting that into your eye over and over and over the course of
a month where a daily lens you're tossing out that lens at the end of the
day so you're putting in a fresh new pair in the next day and then actually
speaks to convenience as well because then yeah you don't have to bother
spending that time cleaning the lenses or going through anything like that if
you are currently a monthly lens where we're at we cleanse wear and you're not
sure how to clean the lenses properly I do have a video I recently posted on
that and hook that up here in the YouTube card above as well as in the
description below again if you want to check that out otherwise I also find
that daily lenses are wate healthier for the eye in general less chance of
infection now that may just be my clinical experience but I see people who
are really wearing daily lenses just don't get as many complications from
contact lens wear as people who are wearing like a monthly or a two week
lens now when it comes to that colors that are available for dailies colors
there's really only four colors that have just released
there's mystic green mystic grey mystic blue and mystic hazel and really they've
focused on having more of a natural eye color so these aren't for somebody who's
looking for a Halloween type of lens or a theatrical lens something that you do
cosplay in these lenses are going to be a little bit better for someone who's
looking for a natural eye color or something to enhance their already
existing eye color in addition these lenses also have an
accentuated limbal ring to really make the limbal aspect the darker ring on the
outside of your iris to really stand out there's actually studies that have come
out that report that people find other individuals who have darker limbal rings
to be more attractive now I say that but yet with these different colors that are
available all of them have that accentuated limbal ring except for
mystic green that one still has the limbal ring but it's not as dark okay so
the first one we're gonna try on here are the mystic grey lenses now of course
I have lighter colored eyes so these are going to
a little bit different on for me and if you have lighter colored eyes versus
somebody who has darker colored irises if you have brown eyes these may look a
little bit different in general somebody who has a darker colored iris well I
think looks better with the gray lenses still works or someone with blue lenses
or blue irises like mine right here you can kind of compare the difference
between with the colored lens versus without the colored lens but now I'm
gonna put in the other eyes you can get kind of the full effect and see what
that looks like what I love is that these lenses are very similar to another
brand called that aqua comfort plus it's made by the same manufacturer these are
also add aliens have been out for a long time the same material actually and very
similar design so that if you fit well with aqua comfort plus if you find them
comfortable these lenses you'll find just as comfortable
my first instinct to wearing these lenses is that yeah they work really
well the downside with these colored lenses
as with most other colored lenses on the market is that the color does start to
approach your central visual axis there's an optical Zone of the center of
the actual lens and because the color kind of creeps in you can sometimes see
the edges of the actual kind of the color ring of the lenses so if you're
somebody who has doesn't like that feeling like something's like
encroaching from your sides you may actually get these with almost every
type of colored lens some of that experience though does
depend on how big your pupil is if you've got a really small pupil like
mine you may not see them as much but if you have a really large people or you
take medication that causes your pupils to be larger then yeah you may start to
notice the edges of the color rings a little bit more okay now let's try
something a little bit different let's try mystic green
one thing you can kind of notice here is comparing the green lens in my left eye
to my normal just blue iris and kind of start to notice that limbal ring like I
mentioned before of all these lenses the mystic greens limbal ring isn't as
defined but you can kind of still see how much it actually still accentuates
the limbal ring compared to my just normal iris all right so there's the
other green lens what do you guys think of the green eyes the mystic green look
okay so now let's switch over let's try mystic blue we'll see what that looks
like compared to my normal blue iris all right so that's just kind of what it
looks like comparing the left lens here an actual mystic blue with that dark
limbal ring compared to just my normal blue colored eye yeah what do you guys
think does that look weird you can you tell that I'm actually wearing a colored
contact lens like if I was just walking on the street next to you would you
actually be able to tell that I was wearing a colored lens on this side now
what's cool is that the elk on company that makes these lenses they also make
the air optics colors they actually did a color design so it's actually
multi-tiered colors within the lens itself and that's really what gives it
kind of that more natural look but now let's just level it out we'll put in the
other lens now again here's what the blue lens is it seems kind of different
being on somebody who already has blue eyes but it should help accentuate and
make them pop out okay now the final one is gonna be mystic hazel now when it
comes down to hazel colors for colored contact lenses I personally don't think
they work very good with people that have blue colored irises I find that
they work better and more natural for people who have darker colored irises
like a brown eye it just looks a little bit more natural otherwise they can come
off kind of almost yellow in a way so yeah what do you guys think of this it's
not quite it's not really prominent it's not super harsh but do you think they
actually look somewhat natural to you having this type of mystic hazel colored
lenses all right eye health question of the day which one of these colored
lenses that when I was just put on is your favorite go ahead and comment in
