Selecting the right colored Contact lenses requires understanding key technical parameters to ensure comfort and eye health. As a highly personalized product, proper lens selection depends on individual needs and eye characteristics.
Base Curve Essentials
The base curve determines the lens curvature, measured by its radius. Most eyes naturally fall between 8.40 and 8.60 curvature. Lenses with improperly large base curves may cause discomfort, misalignment, and that "too tight" feeling - even with premium brands.
Water Content Considerations
This perCEntage indicates hydration levels in the lens material. Higher water content (above 50%) creates softer lenses typically used for daily disposables, while lower percentages suit longer-wear lenses. Note that high-water lenses may contribute to dryness during extended wear.
Thickness Variations
Lens thickness categories:
Ultra-thin: Below 0.04mm (increased oxygen but prone to drying)
Standard: 0.04-0.09mm
Thick: Above 0.09mm
Colored lenses using sandwich technology perform best in the 0.04mm-0.065mm range, balancing oxygen permeability and durability.
Oxygen Transmission
This critical measurement indicates how well lenses allow oxygen to reach your cornea. Thinner lenses with higher water content generally offer better oxygen transmission for healthier wear.
