Can health go along with beauty? I believe so! I've been using contact lenses for half of my life, but the lenses I've been using were just regular ones. In February I tried my first lenses from Olens and today I want to share with you how 1-day lenses from Olens work. Olens is a Korean Beauty&Health eyestyling company. Their lenses are used by many Korean idols like Jennie from Blackpink. Today, I'm trying new Olens Double Tint Lenses Brown and Double Tint Lenses Gray. Lenses based on Puscon - the safest material for the eye.
Can coloured lenses be corrective?
I feel like many people think that contact lenses are not for eyes with no vision problems and that coloured lenses shouldn't be used by people with vision issues. That's not true! The main reason for wearing lenses for many people is aesthetic issues or comfort issues - I started to wear lenses because I find glasses more problematic, and they usually don't fit me well. Lenses don't make me tired and I feel like thanks to contact lenses my sight is doing better than it would do with glasses. Coloured lenses are sometimes called "cosmetic lenses" since they change the visual colour of your iris, and that's something some people don't know - when you buy coloured lenses from Olens you can fit them to your needs, if you need corrective aspect of lenses, you can choose the shade of the lens and power. All the lenses I tested in this post are -3.00 power.

How to choose lenses for my eyes and skin?

Olens Double Tint Brown
DIA (diameter) 14,2 mm | G.DIA (graphic diameter) 12,9mm | Base curve 8.6mm | Water content: 38% | Material: HEMA (Hydroxyethyl methacrylate)
Olens Double Tint Brown is a new Olens model of 1-day lenses. These lenses are made out of Puscon. Some of the puscon's features you should know about is that puscon is the safest bio material for contact lenses. It forms something called a "Strong Hydration Shield". It adds more moisture to the eye. Puscon prevents protein deposition and has a strong UV-block function to protect your eyes from UV radiation. Yes, UV radiation is dangerous for eyes and it's quite rare to find lenses that block UV.
I love how these lenses have a multi-highlight effect - it gives the eye more depth. The outer ring is a feature I love because my eyes in these lenses don't really need makeup. The caramel brown shade is so lovely - it works so well with blue and green eyes.
I was a bit worried since usually, 1-day lenses can be hard for a novice to put on, I started my journey with lenses from 1-month lenses. Daily lenses were always a bit problematic for me, but Olens are not as hard to wear as regular lenses. A box of Olens Double Tint Brown (10pcs - 5 pairs) costs $21.
Olens Double Tint Gray

Similar to brown ones, Olens Double Tint Gray has a multi-highlight effect - with Gray ones the effect is more subtle than Brown ones which I feel have more depth. Olens Double Tint Gray has a watery gray shade which works nicely with my eyes. I swear I don't need to wear makeup when I have these lenses on.
I didn't have any problems putting them on my eyes, the Puscon material is comfortable and I even took a nap in them - it wasn't problematic. A box of Olens Double Tint Gray (10pcs - 5 pairs) costs $21.
I am from the US, can I still order lenses from Olens?
Yes. Contact lenses in the US are not sold as easily as in Europe. In comparison, in Europe, I can ask my optometrist or eye doctor to order lenses for me or I can order them on my own. Some brands are available in stores so even if you're out of lenses you can buy them. I had a situation when I got my first lenses and I didn't know that 1-day lenses are not as easy to put as 1-month lenses I needed to grab new pair in a random drugstore in Paris. The US situation looks different because of US FCLCA (The Fairness to Contact Lens Consumers Act) so Olens can be ordered if you're living in the US but your lenses will go through a prescription verification system.
