4 Tips for Wearing Colored Contact Lenses to Elevate Your Style

When creating a fashionable outfit, eyewear is a must-have accessory that can instantly alter your overall look. For instance, the Oakley Fall/Winter 2020 sunglasses collection features frames that not only serve a practical purpose for vision protection but also explore futuristic styles through frame designs. Overall, the DEFINE collection appeals to those who want to accentuate their outfits influenced by athletic wear and street styles.

Beyond sunglasses, other forms of eyewear that can be used as fashionable accessories include colored contact lenses. Colored contacts are convenient to wear and come in a wide range of options to draw attention to your eyes and express your style with just one look.

However, choosing the right pair of contact lenses doesn’t just depend on the color you like. By considering the following tips, you can proudly wear colored contacts that enhance your style — both on special occasions and in daily life.

Consider your vision needs

While colored contacts are mainly used for cosmetic purposes, they can also come with a prescription to accommodate vision problems like refractive errors. This means that even prescription glasses wearers can use colored contacts without worrying about vision correction.

On ContactsDirect, you can find a selection of prescription colored contacts to suit your fashion and vision needs. Whether you’re looking for daily disposables from Dailies or monthly lenses from Air Optix, you can easily enter your prescription on the website and order the colored or color-enhancing lenses you need. Of course, there are also non-prescription options for those who already have 20/20 vision.

Ensure the lenses match your skin tone

To ensure the colored contact lenses are the right pair for you, identify your skin tone first. You may consider getting a color analysis online or from a stylist to classify your skin among different tonal groups, namely warm, cool, light, clear, soft, and deep.

For example, individuals who are warm-toned can opt for shades like brown, hazel, honey, or amber to highlight their complexion and make their eyes pop. Meanwhile, bright colors like light blue, violet, or green work best for those who have a fair, cool-toned complexion.

Style the contacts based on your outfits

In addition to matching the contact lens color to your skin, you can also choose the lens type based on your outfits and overall style. If you want lenses for a casual, everyday look, brown lenses are the most versatile and suit any piece of clothing in your wardrobe.

If you’re wearing a monochromatic outfit, you can also choose a contact lens color that’s the same shade or hue for a more cohesive look. Lastly, a dramatic lens color like gray, silver, or green can add visual interest to your outfit if you’re feeling more experimental.

Only buy from trusted brands

Lastly, the FDA warns against decorative contact lenses that may be cheap but are otherwise sold illegally by street vendors, boutiques, flea markets, costume stores, and the like. If you buy lenses that aren’t FDA-approved, they most likely won’t fit your eye properly and can even contribute to eye issues like scratches on the cornea, soreness, irritation, and blurred vision.

Among the trusted manufacturers in the colored contact lens market are Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, which owns the brand Acuvue, and Bausch + Lomb, which offers its colored contacts under the brand Lacelle. By ensuring your colored contacts are not only aesthetically pleasing but are also tested to be safe and healthy to use, you can elevate any outfit and protect your vision in the long term.

As of late, this published author and President of the NAACP (chapter 1069) decided to shed light on men’s mental stability during the culmination of June. Moreover, in front of July 4th, she engaged in an honest, heart-felt discussion with Vaughn. The candid conversation delicately danced around a myriad of social constructs, which seemed to hinder a man’s ability to embrace vulnerability.

Apparently, Lowery has been inundated with overwhelming circumstances, of which both 360 and its constituents face death and dark spaces. Lastly, Dr. Bryant presented a plethora of options that can further assist him and other marginalized men, allowing them to selflessly coexist along their counterparts.

Back to School Health Tips from a Nurse

Preparing for a Smooth Transition for All

Back-to-school season is upon us, and for many families, it is synonymous with buying new school supplies. It is important to consider not just academic preparations but also health and wellness. As a nurse and a mother, I recommend a holistic approach to the new school year. A proactive approach can set the stage for a successful year, minimizing illnesses and promoting overall well-being. Here’s a guide to help you prepare from a health perspective, including advice on managing your medicine cabinet, teaching proper hygiene, adjusting bedtimes, and maintaining healthy eating habits.

Stock Up Your Medicine Cabinet

Make sure your medicine cabinet is stocked with essential supplies such as fever reducers, cough and cold remedies, allergy medications, and a thermometer. Since common ailments like colds, flu, and seasonal allergies can occur, having these items on hand will help you manage symptoms quickly. Additionally, keep a well-stocked first aid kit with bandages, antiseptics, and ointments for minor injuries. Being prepared for small accidents or scrapes is always a good idea. Also, consider having multivitamins and supplements like Vitamin C or zinc to support your child’s immune system. Regular use can strengthen their defenses against typical school-related illnesses. Check with their medical provider before providing any additional supplements to ensure it is safe for them.

Teach Proper Hygiene

Teach your children about the importance of regular hand washing, especially before meals and after using the restroom. Show them the proper technique of washing with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, and make it a fun, routine activity. Encourage them to avoid touching their face and to use tissues or the inside of their elbow when sneezing or coughing. Explain the importance of not sharing personal items like water bottles or utensils to help prevent the spread of germs. When soap and water aren’t available, promote the use of hand sanitizer. This is especially handy during busy school days when sinks might not be readily accessible. Consider giving your kids a portable hand sanitizer to keep in their backpacks for easy access.

Adjust Bedtimes and Sleep Patterns

Start adjusting bedtimes a few weeks before school begins to align with the school schedule. Gradually shift bedtime earlier by 15-30 minutes each night to help your child’s body clock adapt. A sudden change in bedtime can make it difficult for your child to fall asleep, as they may not understand the reason behind the shift.

Establish a consistent bedtime routine to signal that it’s time to wind down. This could include activities such as reading a book or taking a warm bath. Consistency reinforces the sleep schedule and helps everyone get back into a routine. Also, be mindful of evening eating habits. Avoid large meals and sugary snacks close to bedtime, as these can disrupt sleep. Instead, choose lighter, healthier snacks if needed, and try to finish eating at least two to three hours before bedtime.

Maintain Healthy Eating Habits

Focus on a balanced diet that incorporates a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and proteins. Healthy eating supports overall health, boosts energy levels, and enhances cognitive function, all of which contribute to academic success. To minimize the stress of daily meal decisions, plan and prepare nutritious meals in advance. Consider involving your children in meal planning and preparation to encourage healthier food choices. Additionally, ensure both you and your child drink plenty of water throughout the day, as staying hydrated is crucial for maintaining energy and focus.

By preparing your medicine cabinet, teaching proper hygiene, adjusting bedtimes, and maintaining healthy eating habits, you can help ensure a smoother transition back to school. Prioritizing these aspects of health will not only support your child’s well-being but also contribute to a productive and successful academic year.
