Bausch & Lomb’s SofLens Natural Colors are a phenomenal value for quality, and are available in 10 different colours, from Amazon to Topaz, offering shades of green, blue, purple, brown, and grey to match your natural hue. With such great value, these lenses are excellent if you want to explore various colours without breaking the bank.

Best coloured contact lenses for comfort

As part of the Air Optix family, Alcon’s Air Optix Colors provide exceptional breathability, as the silicone hydrogel material allows up to 6 times more oxygen to reach the eye than a hydrogel lens. A smooth lens surface and high water content also make sure that Air Optix Colors are one of the most comfortable coloured contact lenses around.

These lenses combine both beauty and comfort for a monthly coloured contact lens that not only enhances eye colour but also provides a perfectly clear vision for up to 30 consecutive days. Each colour lens is made with Alcon’s 3-in-1 colour technology, which mixes 3 individual rings of colour, increasing in depth and intensity, for a vibrant yet natural look. Choose from 9 different shades to subtly change your natural eye colour, including: Brilliant Blue, Gemstone Green, Honey, and Pure Hazel amongst others.

Best daily coloured contact lenses

Alcon’s Freshlook One Day is one of the best daily coloured contact lenses on the market. These dailies come in shades Blue, Grey, Pure Hazel and Green, which are each designed to enhance natural eye colour.

Made from Neflicon A, these lenses are soft, flexible, and sit securely throughout the day. In addition, lenses have a high water content to ensure that your eyes stay hydrated, resulting in fresh, healthy feeling eyes.

Best coloured contacts to enhance shape and colour

Alcon’s Freshlook Illuminate is a little different from the other coloured contact lenses. Instead of altering eye colour, these daily disposable contact lenses make eyes look bigger and brighter brighter with an enhancement tint. This is achieved by the unique starburst pattern printed on each lens, which perfectly blends the coloured ring of the eye into the iris. This makes eyes look naturally larger while providing shine and definition to the colour.

Making use of a special dual-layer colour printing technology, Freshlook Illuminate is suitable for all shades of eyes. The colour of the lens reacts to the light, so it can adapt to the shade of the wearer's iris in a way that looks both natural and eye-catching.
