Of all the special effect contact lenses and accessories that creates fashionable eyes, the black colored contacts doubtlessly tops the list. The soft contact lenses are available in different sizes for both, beauty enhancing and novelty. These lenses give wearers a big, clear, and pretty-eyed appearance that nothing else could. Most beauty lenses cover just the iris, but special-effect black contacts cover both, the iris and the sclera, thereby displaying a truly gorgeous looking eye.


Each black contact gives varying effect and you must know what actually you want. Before you opt to buy a pair, you need to understand the effects you need and necessary things to do for a safe wearing experience.


  • Enlargement effect: Diameter shows the size of the lens and its iris coverage. However, the black outer ring, limbal ring of the lens contribute to the lens enlargement effect. So, along with the diameter, you should consider the limbal ring design as well.

  • Ease of use: Contact lenses generally have a lifespan of 6-8 months, once used. In the regular use, these can usually last 6 - 8 hours, but some users find it very drying/tiring after few hours of use. It occurs due to low water contents; using eye drop is essential to moisturize your eyes at the same time. Remove the lens immediately, if feeling a bit of discomfort or pain in the eyes. And, the deterioration of comfort level is due to the obstinate protein deposits on the lens and it can be taken care of with the help of cleaning kits. For a good hygiene and lasting performance, prefer buying a cleaning kit.

  • Color vibrancy effect: Coloring effects of different lens designs make them more noticeable and attention grabbing. A higher vibrancy makes the eyes noticeable even in the natural lighting or room lighting.

  • Natural/blending effect: Lenses with more vibrant and enlarged effect seldom give a natural look. You should go for lenses with less vibrant color, and most importantly, those that can blend well with your natural eye color.


Black contacts are quite safe to wear — but only when they are prescribed by the professionals, taken care as directed, and purchased from a reputed store. Wearing a pair can make everyone just looking at you, that’s the magic of black contacts!
