When
offered an opportunity, very few people would refuse to
change something in the appearance. With the development
of non-prescription color contacts you
have an opportunity to make the most dramatic change –
change your eye color. However, surprisingly few people
wear color
contacts yet.
Colored eye contacts can change or enhance the color of
eyes, with simultaneous correction of sight or without
it.
The "know-how" of contact
lenses was considerably improved over the last 30
years, and this progress has not bypassed the party and
process of manufacture of the color
contact lenses, which for the first time have appeared
in the market in the beginning 1980. The design of today's
color soft contact lenses is considerably improved, and
manufacturers produce color lenses of various types.
Interest in non-prescription colored eye contacts
Recent researches in Europe have shown, that the level
of awareness and a degree of interest of the population
to color contact lenses are high enough. In England 72%
of the population of knows about colored
contact lenses, the figure is even higher (80%) for
the age group of 16-44 years old. The most informed categories
of the population are present users of contact lenses,
single people, and group of the population with a high
level of incomes.
Each
fifth citizen of England agrees to try to wear color contact
lenses in the future, and it is much more than such people
in age group 16-24 years. Almost half (48 %) all women
in this age group and almost as much men (46 %) have are
prepared to try lenses which would change color of their
eyes.
Interest to non-prescription color contact lenses is higher
among constant users of contact lenses and at those to
whom correction of sight is not required. The reasons
of such interest a little: the desire to look in another
way or to stand out of the crowd (37 %), just for fun
(21 %), desire to look more attractively (17 %).
As well as with all other types of the contact lenses,
previous experience with color lenses, defines, whether
the patient is ready to try them again now. Researches
have shown, that frequency of refusals of wearing color
lenses is higher, than for lenses of other types. What
is really interesting that only 7% of all respondents
mentioned that they don’t want to try color contacts
for the reasons of comfort.
