What is a circle contact lens?
Circle contact lenses feature a coloured outer ring along the lens edge.
This design, where the coloured section extends beyond the iris, aims to create the illusion of a naturally larger pupil compared to the original iris size.
What is the difference between a colour contact lens and a circle contact lens?
Colour contact lenses change the eye's natural colour, providing a wide range of colours and designs for individual expression and eye colour alterations. In contrast, circle contact lenses enhance the appearance of larger eyes. For changing eye colour, choose colour contact lenses; for a larger eye look, opt for circle contact lenses.
Can I buy coloured contact lenses without a prescription as I don't require eyesight correction?
Even if you don't need eyesight correction, consult your eye care provider for fitting if:
- Trying contact lenses for the first time.
- Having allergies.
- Unsure how to handle contact lenses.
Remember, contact lenses are medical devices, so have your eyes examined by a certified professional before purchase. You need a prescription from an eye doctor that includes the appropriate size and prescription for your eyes so you can order your contact lenses based on that.
What is a "Coloured DIA" ?
Coloured DIA (Diameter), also known as Graphic DIA, refers to the size of the coloured part of the lens that enhances or changes the eye's natural colour.
It's the visible coloured area on the lens.
For circle contact lenses, the Coloured DIA significantly affects the impression. Smaller sizes give subtle changes, while larger sizes make the iris appear bigger. Balance your eye size with the Coloured DIA to avoid an unnatural look; if the Coloured DIA is much larger than your natural iris size, it may reduce the visible white part of the eye.
Is wearing coloured/circle lenses safe for the eyes?
Choosing coloured/circle contact lenses with a structure that prevents direct contact between the pigmented surface and the eye is of utmost importance for eye health and safe wear. This specific structure involves sandwiching a pigmented layer between layers of contact lens materials. As a result, the coloured contacts created using this method pose minimal risk of the colour leaking into the eye. Our exclusive circle contact lens, Qieto1day Color, follows this structure to ensure eye safety. Similarly, 1 Day Acuvue Define adopts "Beauty Wrapped in Comfort Technology," which encapsulates the colouring pigment within the lens material, preventing direct contact with the eyes.
And, of course, the proper handling of contact lenses is essential.

1 Day Acuvue Define is a circle lens from the highly popular Acuvue series in the contact lens market.
It is designed to enhance the appearance of the eyes by enlarging the outer part of the iris, making it appear larger than a regular iris.
Being a circle lens with the characteristic of "defining the outline," it has gained popularity under the brand name "Define" in the circle lens market.
Does wearing circle lenses create an unnatural impression?
When choosing circle lenses, the diameter of the coloured portion (the part of the lens with colour) is also important.
A larger diameter gives a bigger eye impression, while a smaller diameter creates a more natural eye appearance.
If the coloured diameter of the contact lens is too large for your eye size, it may result in an unnatural look with fewer white parts showing.
When using circle lenses for a subtle change in impression, consider the balance between the prescription's DIA (diameter) and the circle lens' coloured diameter before making a selection.
