Gone are the days when only people with poor eyesight wore contact lenses. Now people are wearing them just to change the colour of their eyes and make a fashion statement! They come in an assortment of amazing colours and some are even designed to be worn for Halloween.

What’s sad is that most people who wear lenses even realize that they’re available or if they do, they’re too scared to give it a try. But don’t worry. The colour change can be subtle or it can be dramatic and that’s part of the fun of wearing them.

Do I Have to Get a Prescription?

If you want to buy coloured lenses purely for fashion purposes you’ll still need to see an optician to obtain a prescription. A prescription for contacts that doesn’t include vision correction is called a plano prescription. You need a prescription to make sure that the lenses are the correct width and curvature to your eye. If they don’t fit right you’ll know in a moment because the pain will be persistent and irritating.

Don’t Share Your Contacts

Be careful, just because you’ve got fashion contact lenses doesn’t mean you can share them with your friends. It’s not just the size and shape of the contacts that can cause problems, it’s also germs that can be transferred from one person to another.

When buying coloured contacts make sure you understand the options available to you.

Coloured Lenses – You’ll want to buy opaque lenses if you want to change the colour of your eye. Coloured lenses are actually tinted, and besides changing colour you’ll find other types of tints, some of which aren’t necessarily designed to change eye colour.

Tinted Lenses – One great benefit of making contacts tinted is that you can see them easier. When you drop a clear contact lens you’ll have great difficulty finding it again. But the coloured tint on the lens will help pinpoint their location. Enhancement tints have a deeper tint that will enhance and intensify a person’s eye colour.

Sun Protection – If you spend a lot of time outdoors in the sunshine then buying lenses with a UV/UB protection is a must. The tints help to reduce glare which improves vision and hopefully the game if you’re playing sports. And speaking of sun protection, there is a brand of coloured contact lenses that darken to a colour that resembles that of sunglass lenses when exposed to light. When you’re indoors, the colour transitions back into clear.

The latest trend to arrive in the diamond jewellery industry is the right hand diamond ring. Buy your own diamond ring? Surely not! Well, that’s exactly what’s happening and is one of the hottest trends to hit the fashion scene.  You also don’t have to bother with pre wedding counseling.

Wearing a diamond ring was always more acceptable for the left hand. When we think of diamond rings we think of the traditional engagement rings or wedding rings, which of course are worn on the ring finger of the left hand.

Gone are the days when women looked for housekeeping money from their husbands, women are much more financially independent now. The right hand diamond ring symbolizes success, self-assertiveness and freedom, which is sort of the opposite of what the left hand diamond rings symbolize with love, commitment and union.

Right hand diamond rings are designed differently than the engagement rings. The stones are often smaller and there are usually more stones compared to a single one that we normally see with matrimonial rings.

Right hand rings came about because of the obsession for women to gain what the left hand rings stood for. The right hand rings are to show women they can be successful and independent without needing a partner in their life to be successful.

The modern woman strives to distance herself from the June Cleaver, submissive housewife icon that plagued women for ages. It plays on their independence and their feminist side that says you don’t have to be married to feel valued or loved.

Marketing possibilities have broadened for diamond rings. They use to market to men, the person spending money on the engagement ring. But today, they’re honing in on advertising campaigns that cater to a woman’s sense of self worth.

It’s not just married women that can wear them, single women can to show their empowerment. It symbolizes strength in spirit, which married women can have as well as the successful single woman. These rings have also gained popularity simply because they are beautiful and something new to try out – a trend everyone’s enjoying.

Right hand rings can also make the perfect gift for any strong spirited woman in your life, so browse through the different designs and find one that matches her personality.
