Freshlook Colorblends

Large choice of colours - These lenses are available in twelve different colours that are either subtle (True Sapphire, Grey, Blue, Green, Pure Hazel, Brown, Amethyst, Turquoise) or striking (Sterling Grey, Brilliant Blue, Gemstone Green, Honey). This gives you a lot of choices when deciding which colour you think would work for your look.

Natural look - Some people might not even realise your eye colour has changed. Alcon’s 3-in-1 colour blend technology combines three hues into one lens for a natural-looking colour.

Day-long comfort - These lenses are made of a high water-content hydrogel, which helps to keep the lenses moist and your eyes hydrated throughout the day.

Minimum fuss - These lenses are ideal if you lead an active lifestyle and want on-the-go convenience because, as monthly lenses, you only need one pair per month, not a fresh pack every day.

FreshLook Colorblends are monthly disposable contact lenses that change the colour of your eyes. Manufactured by Alcon, these lenses offer a selection of 12 different colours to choose from (eight are subtle, while four are very noticeable!). Wearer reviews praise these contacts for being ‘comfortable’ and for their ‘natural’ colours.

* Please note that the appearance of these lenses will vary depending on your eye colour.

Recommended for

FreshLook Colorblends are recommended for individuals who:

• Want to correct short or long-sighted vision.
• Want to change their eye colour - whether long-term or for a special occasion.
• Those who have no vision correction and want to change/enhance their eye colour.

Manufacturer:

FreshLook Colorblends are manufactured by Alcon.

Brand:

These premium colour lenses are sold by the Alcon brand as part of their Freshlook lens family.

Type of lens:

FreshLook Colorblends are monthly disposable coloured contact lenses. This means that you need to remove, clean and store them overnight before re-inserting in the morning. With a good lens cleaning routine they should last for up to 30 days before needing to be replaced.

Material:

FreshLook Colorblends are made from Phemfilcon A, a hydrogel that has a very high water content of 55%. It allows less oxygen to reach your eyes than a silicone hydrogel lens, but this does not mean that lenses made of Phemfilcon A are less comfortable. These lenses are still a comfortable fit for monthly wearers.

Technology:

FreshLook Colorblends utilise the following Alcon technology:

3-in-1 colour blend - This process blends three similar hues together in one lens for a striking and natural-looking final colour.

Pack sizes:

You can order each of the twelve available FreshLook Colorblends colour choices directly from Lenstore. Each pack consists of 2x lenses.

Availability for astigmatism and presbyopia:

FreshLook Colorblends are available for those who wish to correct myopia (short-sightedness) or hypermetropia (long-sightedness).

They are also available for those who don’t need to correct their vision but wish to try a new eye colour - however, you'll still need to consult an optician to check their suitability for your eyes before doing so.

They are not available as a prescription option for those in need of toric or multifocal lenses.

Alternatives

Before you try a different contact lens to what you have previously been prescribed, you will need to consult your optician to make sure that any alternative is suitable for you, and also fitted correctly.
