Choosing the Right Base Curve for Colored Contacts
When it comes to colored contacts, the prescription isn't the only crucial factor. The base curve plays a significant role in comfort and vision.
Imagine wearing contacts from the same brand, with identical materials, water content, and diameter. Strangely, one series feels great, while the other is uncomfortable.
The culprit? The base curve difference.
Your eyes might feel discomfort if you're wearing colored contacts with an incompatible base curve. So, before you switch brands, check the base curve to find what suits you best.
What is base curve on prescription?
The base curve is the curvature of the eye. Your eye doctor measures your base curve during an eye exam using a keratometer.
What happens if you wear the wrong base curve?
Want to know how does base curve affect vision? Here’s the answer:
• Base curve Too Large: The lens might slip or shift easily on your eyeball.
• Base curve Too Small: Tightness, irritation, redness, and blurred vision can occur as the lens sticks uncomfortably to your eyeball.
Is a higher base curve flatter?
• A higher base curve means flatter colored contacts.
• A smaller base curve results in more curved colored contacts.
How do I know my base curve?
Visit your eye doctor for an eye exam to get an accurate base curve measurement.
What is the most common base curve for contacts?
;The normal range of base curves is 8.3mm to 9.0mm and the most common one is 8.6mm.
At PinkyParadise, we cater to different base curves by offering a wide range of colored contacts with different base curves, from 8.3mm to 11.0mm. Including bigger base curves like 8.7mm, 8.8mm and even 8.9mm and smaller base curves like 8.3mm and 8.5mm are also available. Usually, toric lenses have a base curve of 8.5mm.
We also have colored contacts with base curves of 9.0mm, 10.0mm and 11.0mm for Mini Sclera and Sclera, usually the base curve of these lenses are not a base curve that fits anyone, they are only available in these base curves due to their big diameter.

Contact lenses dry out when they are left to dehydrate. If your lens is dried up, we recommend throwing them away and use a new one as dried out lens might have a chance to form small cracks, tears, scratches on the lens. Even though you may be tempted to reuse the lenses, risking your vision or eye health is not worth the few saved bucks because your vision is one of your most precious of senses. To treat the risk of complications and infection is likely to cost more and result in far more inconvenience than replacing a new pair of contact lenses.
Not without disinfecting your contact lens first. Contact lenses must be completely sterile before insertion. If you drop a lens, you need to rinse it thoroughly with the solution before use. Be sure to inspect the contact lens for any tears, chips in the edge or scratches on the lenses prior to insertion. If the contact lens is damaged in any way, it's not safe to continue wearing.
It can be challenging to tell if your contact lenses are inside out. If you're already wearing your colored contact lenses, and they feel uncomfortable, move around more or like you have something stuck in your eye, they may be inside out. It won't do any damage to your eye but it can be an uncomfortable experience. There are two easy ways to tell if your contact lens is inside out, look at the shape of the contact lens, it should form a perfect cup-shape with the edge perfectly upright, or squeeze the lens between your thumb and finger as if you are about to fold it in half, the edges of the contact should roll inwards that somewhat resemble a taco. For some colored contacts, the side with more visible tint and darker outer rim indicates that the lens is correctly positioned whereas a faded or lighter tint suggests that the lens needs to be reversed.
The cost of color contact lens can vary, depending on the disposable types and styles. At PinkyParadise, the price of regular prescription and non-prescription lenses are the same. You can get colored eye contacts at PinkyParadise for as low as $11.90. We stock a huge selection of yearly contacts which we think it's the most cost-efficient type of contact lens and our yearly disposable lenses can range anywhere between $18.90 and $26.90. Specialty lenses like toric colored contacts for astigmatism and sclera lenses usually cost more as there is more work involved in making the lenses.
To prolong the lifespan of your lenses, you should always wash your hands prior to handling lenses. Be sure to rub and rinse your contact lenses and store them in fresh multipurpose solution after each use. Store your contact lenses in the proper lens storage case and replace the case at least every three months. Another way that you can take special care to clean your lenses is by deep cleaning your lenses with lens cleaning tools like Frog Auto Lens Cleaner or manual cleaning tool like Mini Rotary Contact Lens Cleaner to help maintain contact lens comfort and durability. Here's our wear and care guide to your contact lens maintenance.
If you prefer natural coloured contact lenses, you may consider choosing lenses with no limbal ring as this dark outer rim around the iris can make a huge difference to your eyes. Lenses that are made without a noticeable limbal ring give your eyes a more subtle, blended look with no or minimal enlargement, so you can change your eye colour without enlarging your eyes. While many of our collections are designed to give a natural finish, the Princess Pinky Lumiere series and Uris Arctic Series are a perfect alternative as they do not feature a limbal ring which means the effect is very realistic and natural.

If you're someone with a busy and active lifestyle, daily contacts are the easiest, most convenient, and most comfortable option of contact lenses that fit your lifestyle. However, the price can be higher due to having to purchase more lenses frequently. If you are looking for an affordable alternative, monthly and yearly disposable coloured contacts can be more cost-effective but should be cleaned often so that no infections occur.
For people with dark brown eyes, choosing the best colored contacts that cover dark eyes well may be a challenge. We all end up buying an uncountable number of bright colour contacts based on products' photos on the internet in the hopes of being freed from them, but only a few actually work.

We have also come out with 2 exclusive cosplay series, Princess Pinky Cyberdoll Series and Lunar Earth series, which are the perfect contact lenses for anime and manga characters.
You can still wear regular colored contact lenses for cosmetic reasons only if you have only mild astigmatism. We do not recommend it if your level of astigmatism is high. We recommend toric lenses as these lenses can rectify astigmatism. The main difference between these and regular lenses is the design as regular lenses have just one power, but toric lenses have two: one for distance vision and one for astigmatism. If you have a very low degree of cylinder (amount of astigmatism), you might be able to get by with regular colored contacts. However, if the visual compromise is too great, consult your doctor so you can be fitted with a lens that takes both prescriptions into account.
No, colored contact lenses only alter the part of your eye known as the iris. Generally, color contacts will have a transparent pupil hole in the center so that your vision is not altered. For certain styles of color contact lenses like mesh contacts that cover your pupil for a whiteout effect, your vision will be impaired slightly in order to create the intended special effect.
The best contacts brands to wear are Air Optix, FreshLook, SofLens and Biofinity.
All these top contact lens brands are available on pinkyparadise.com in different styles and colors like Freshlook colored contacts. You can purchase them with or without vision correction.
The cost of color contact lens can vary, depending on the disposable types and styles. At PinkyParadise, the price of regular prescription and non-prescription lenses are the same.

You may not be a good candidate for contact lens wear if you have one of the following conditions:
• Dry Eye Syndrome
