My New Solotica Contacts! And other brands

Solotica Hidrocharme - Mel / honey appears green on dark eyes. In some lights they appear grayish blue.

I've been wearing prescripted contacts for about 4 yrs now. When I first started I decided to experiment with colored lenses to make my lens wearing more enjoyable. After awhile of wearing colored lenses I made the choice to stay away from them because they dry your eyes no matter what brand they are and I started hating the way colored lenses looked... fake.


You should know colored lenses allow less oxygen into your eyes, causing them to feel dryer faster, which is very discomforting over time. My vision is much more sharp and clear with clear lenses then with colored and I rarely feel them.


Natural Eye color

BUT I decided to give colored lenses another shot when I read great reviews on Solotica colored lenses. So far I am very impressed with solotica. The color looks more natural then any other brand I've tried or seen on other people... so far anyway. They blend very well with your natural eye color and change in different lighting(Their color is more intense and vibrant in brighter lights and in flash photos).


I would not recommend wearing any colored contact lens brand for more then 8 hrs a day or sleeping with them on as they dry out your eyes and could make them a bit sensitive to brighter lights that can cause headaches (from my experience anyway). Overall its not good to deprive your eyes from oxygen and moisture.


Solotica may seem more expensive because their annual lenses. If your a prescripted user then the price is fairly cheap if you add up on how much you spend per year on monthly lenses. If you do rely on Solotica for vision and use them daily, then you have to make sure they are cleaned throughly every night. And that you have a spare set of clear contacts or glasses to switch to, if you start to feel discomfort ...which you probably always will with colored lenses. You should also carry eye drops with you.

Before and After shots with and without my lenses


Solotica Lenses

Solotica Is by far my favourite brand for color. I've had soo many compliments about my eyes when wearing solotica. They look very close to natural and the color pops. Other colored contact brands I've tried our Freshlook color blends, Freshlook Radiance and Expressions. ProClear is my favourite for clear contacts I highly recommend them! :)

Solotica comes in 3 different types: Naturals, Hidrocharme and Hidrocor

Naturals - Are more recommended for lighter eyes or if your looking for a small change in color. They are more translucent than the others.

Hidrocharme - These come with a limbal ring for more intensity. They look great on anyone but they look better on someone with a smaller iris. You will receive the most compliments with these! But the ring could make them appear more unreal.

Hidrocor - Is the most natural looking of the solotica lenses. They are the same as the charme but without the limbal ring.

Here are some sites where you can order solotica, remember Solotica is only sold in Brazil and on online Brazilian sites. You will need to convert to Brazilian currency when purchasing.
