1800 Contacts has a great deal on CIBA’s FreshLook Colorblends. What I like about these contact lenses is the way they achieve the color. Most contact lenses just have small pigments of color that may or may not look realistic when viewed from 5 feet or closer. The FreshLook actually have pigment of other colors, not just the color you want.

Various colors make the desired color have a deeper and richer look to it. Adding different colors also makes the contact lens look like a real eye color, and not like a strange fake colored contact lens.

If you’re ready to get some new contact lenses check out the FreshLook Colorblends Contact Lenses by CIBA Vision Corp.

Oh yeah, if your prescription ever changes, 1800 Contacts will replace the rest of your unused contact lenses for free!

Optometrists have been having customers giving them positive feedback, especially those that need the special Toric contact lenses. Astigmatism sufferers love the Toric lens because the surface is a combination of spherical and cylindrical. Otherwise it is torodial. While this may seem complex, it really isn’t.

Purevision has been making great contact lenses for a long time and the Toric lenses are no exception. Currently they’re on sale and you can get them as cheap as ever.

Today we’re looking at cheap blue contact lenses. These contacts are great for every day use and special parties such as Halloween. Cheap contact lenses are nothing new at Discount-Lenses.com, but cheap blue contact lenses are definitely a new lens for us! We’ve been selling cheap contacts since 1999 and as recently as 2007 we began selling a full line of colored contact lenses. These contact lenses have been selling better than we ever expected they would.

When blue contact lenses first came out in 1997 they were expensive! Now with so many companies selling blue contact lenses, the prices have come down and you can get cheap blue contact lenses from just about anyone who sells contact lenses (including us!).

Before you buy your cheap blue contacts, keep in mind that there are many companies selling illegal contacts. They may be branded with the Acuvue logo, but in fact they’re not real. You can call the manufacturer and ask them about a particular reseller or contact lens distributor and make sure they distributor is legit. Here is a list of contact lens brands and manufacturers. So when buying your cheap blue contact lenses, make sure and remain safe!

Here are a few great resources for distributors of contact lenses:

Google Directory – List of contact lens distributors.  Sorted by website and alphabetical.

Trade Key – Another great place to find contact lens distribs is through Trade Key.  Trade Key matches buyers with sellers.  It’s free to post what you’re looking for and then buyers can contact you with what they have available, and what they can get.

Alibaba – Alibaba matches buyers and sellers on a worldwide level.  They have just about every type of colored contact lens, standard clear lenses, contact lens cases and more.  Just type “contact lenses” in the search box.  Currently there are 702 distributors listed.

Those 3 contact lens distributors should get you started.  If you need more, just let me know and I’ll post the full list that I have.

In the past few days I have had 2 different emails asking about the darker navy blue contact lenses. Of course we can talk about dark blue contacts as well as light blue!

Navy blue contacts don’t usually serve the same purpose that their lighter cousins do. You won’t find very many celebrities wearing navy blue contacts. Most people looking for blue contact lenses want to appear to have beautiful blue eyes, or like Arnold Schwarzenegger, they want to appear to be kind and gentle, not the first thought that comes to the mind.

In any case, navy blue contact lenses have made a very popular appearance in award shows with the younger MTV generation. For you music fans, you could have seen FoB at the New Years’ Eve party wearing navy blue contact lenses.

There are a few different stores online that sell navy blue contact lenses. My most recent purchase of navy blue contact lenses was through 1800 Contacts
. The lenses arrived quickly and I had them just in time for use as Halloween contacts.

If you look at a picture of baby blue contact lenses you’ll notice instantly that they aren’t the dark blue contacts that you’re used to, they almost look like Blue Costume Contact Lenses, you know, right off of a superstar like Britney Spears contact lenses.

The popularity of baby blue contacts really took off when superstars like Anthony Hopkins and Paris Hilton started wearing them. Paris at a very young age went from brown eyes to baby blue contacts. Most people only know her with her baby blue eyes, but under those blue contacts she really does have brown eyes.

Just take a look at this picture of Paris Hilton with her naturally brown eyes:

Other places to check out for more information include the wikipedia page on contact lenses and the DMOZ director.

One of the biggest misunderstandings explained my Mike Schwartz in this article was the difference between vision correcting contact lenses, and contact lenses that still required a prescription, but aren’t vision correcting.  This is typically how must people get a prescription for cheap halloween contacts and then use that prescription to buy cheap contact lenses and solution.

The two types of contact lenses are marketed and talked about by Schwartz as traditional and cosmetic.  This is a great way to remember when you are talking to your eye doctor.
