Beginners Guide to Colour Contacts and Circle Lens // Part 1 - Real & Fake Colour Contacts 〆(・∀・＠)

Do you enjoy wearing colour contacts or circle lens and do you wear them occasionally?? 

Yes these are all mine!!

I'm definitely one of those people who enjoy wearing colour contacts/circle lens to enhance my eyes. Colour contacts/circle lens are a very common accessory among both females and males but in recent years there have been cases of fake colour contacts being sold which could damage our eyes permanently!

Today I will be showing you how to differentiate real GEO & NEO colour contacts/circle lens with the fake colour contacts and how to test if other brands too. This is vital information, especially for those who haven't worn coloured contact lenses before and wish to start wearing them, this post is definitely for you!!

So let's begin with NEO contacts lenses, as they are much easier to differentiate!

1. The rubber lid!

Real NEO colour contacts' rubber lid should be translucent. As for fake ones they would be a solid colour rubber lid as they are either unbothered/unable to make the translucent ones. So look under the jars to see if your ones are translucent!!

2. The Brand Logo & information

The logo on the fake contacts is much bolder and heavier in colour. As for the content of the contacts you can see the real one is all in English, whereas the fake one's have a mixture of both English and Korean.

3. Barcode

You should be able to have a clear view of the barcode on the real contacts, but as for the fake ones they tend to put a sticker of some sort. (If you look close enough the colour of the entire packaging sticker is different too).

Moving onto GEO contact lenses, which can be slightly harder to differentiate but with careful observation you should be able to see the differences.

1. Lid & Opening arrow

The real lid would be a nice dark orange colour sticker with the letter 'P' in front of the degree power.
Also the opening arrow has 4 arrow lines and NO vertical lines which lead up to the arrow!

But what happens if fake colour contacts packaging start to look more alike the real packaging?? Or how do we know other brands are real or not? Easy!! Just use the swab test!

All you do is take a cotton bud (soaked in contact solution so you do not rip the contacts) and start rubbing against both sides of the contacts and see if any colour comes off or not. If colour starts to rub onto the cotton bud throw the contacts out because they are not the real deal! 

As you can see no colour rubbed off from the contacts, so these are safe to wear!
