I’ve been thinking of getting contact lens and I can’t decide whether it’s for me or not. What color contacts would look nice with black hair and tanned skin? What are the best year-long deals?

Hi Natalie,
It really depends on your lifestyle. Generally there are 3 broad options, you can choose to have daily wear, weekly or monthly wear schedules.
Below is a really helpful link to some contact lens videos. How to choose the right contact lens, how to insert, remove and clean contact lenses.
As for what color would look good with black hair and tanned skin, you need to ask yourself these two questions first, do you just want to enhance your eye color or do you want to completely change your eye color. Once you answer those two questions I would recommend Acuvue, Freshlook or Proclear contacts. All 3 brands are great and have the contacts that enhance or completely change eye colors.
Your best bet for year long deals is to buy your contacts online. Much better offers if you buy in bulk, you an save as much as 70%.
You can even try before you buy. But you must have your prescription ready.
See links below for more info.
Good luck
one pair lasts for like two weeks..if you dont sleep in them or nap in them they are a lot clearer to..id recommend them i got them almost two years ago and love them instead of glasses!
Not really a photography question.
"How long can I wear my lenses? It’s very important to stick to the schedule your doctor gave you. Whatever your doctor said, that’s how long you should wear and replace them."

what does this have to do with photography?
it really depends on the brand, and if you sleep in them or not. Just ask your doctor.
i have disposable contacts which are cheaper in the long run if you take care of them. technically disposable ones you can wear all the time for about a month then throw them out. what i do is take them out every night and clean them and i can wear them for up to 3 months. contacts are great! i wouldn’t ever go back to just glasses. and for your black hair and tanned skin….definitely blue or dark green.
The ‘throw away’ type only last for a matter of days. However you can buy the old fashioned permanent ones which will last for many many years.
To be honest, my life changed totally once I threw away my glasses. It was having total confidence in the way I looked. Before when I wore my -7 coke bottle glasses, I always looked (and felt) like a nerd.
Don’t go overboard with the colour of the contacts. All you need is a slight enhancement of your natural eye colour. Having the lenses slightly coloured makes them so much easier to find if you happen to drop one.
O u got a good question. {especially since i just happen to wear contacts} hmmmm? I used to wear glasses but contacts have rlly brightened up my life a bit. Now to get to yur question mine last 2 weeks and there r different kinds that last one day 2. Of course there r some ppl that look much better in glasses so upon wheter to get the contacts or not im not sure.
Sincerely your,

P.S. by the way i forgot
to mention this but black
hair and tan skin go good
with blue. yur welcome!
Usually two months. Wear them as directed though. In the olden days, you could only wear them during the day. I have some now I can wear 6.5 days a week. Don’t forget to keep them clean and moist or you’ll scratch up your eyeballs and they’ll turn red.
