Buying Brown Contact Lenses


Brown contact lenses come in a few different types. There are essentially two main types of colored contacts in general, and brown contacts fall into this same pattern. When you decide you want brown contacts you have to figure out exactly what style is for you.

Making some good decisions before you spend any of your hard earned money is a much better way of getting exactly what you want, without wasting any time or money.

The first type of colored contact in the brown shade will be a natural look. You can easily get a natural colored brown contact lens, whether you were looking for brown contact lenses for blue eyes, or brown contact lenses for green eyes, dark brown, or a different shade of amber.

These will be the types of browns that people will take as your real eye color, and they work great for really cool shades of brown as well, that you might not find quite as often to be someone’s natural eye color.

The second style will be theatrical brown contact lenses. These can come in crazy colors of brown that you just simply can’t be born with. They can also have different shapes and patterns, and also different colors too.

Sometimes you can find your two favorite colors in one contact lens! These are going to be worn more likely at costume and Halloween parties, so they don’t normally get a lot of use during downtime, unless you simply like having an eye-catching look all year round, then these will be great for you.

When you do get them, make sure you find out how long you can wear them, and how long they last. A lot of times the manufacturers of these contacts do not make them as durable and high-quality as extended wear contact lenses because they don’t think people will wear them as often, which is often the case.

Whatever the reason, you can find tons of information on the different shades, colors, styles and patterns of brown colored contacts by looking through the information and links on this site. When it comes time to purchase them, knowing that you did the right amount of research should be very comforting.

Brown Contacts FAQ

Buying colored contacts can be kinda tricky and maybe even a little nerve racking if it’s your first time. There are a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings when it comes to colored contacts, with brown contact lenses being no exception.

If you are looking to buy the perfect pair of brown contacts then you might have a few basic questions you need answered before you actually seal the deal. Here we will go over some of the most common questions and problems when dealing with brown contacts, but the information here really goes for all colors.

How long will brown colored contacts last?

The short answer is that it depends. It can depend totally on the style and manufacturer you are buying them from. Since brown contacts will most commonly be extended wear natural shades, you will have an easier time finding them that will last just as long as regular prescription contact lenses. If you do go for the more theatrical styles those will usually last anywhere from a few months to a couple years. With those, it often makes a big difference on how many times you use them, and how good you take care of them when you aren’t wearing them. It’s not unusual to have some brown contacts made for costumes last for a few Halloweens. As always, you should consult with the company or Dr. you are getting the contacts of to get the straight facts.

Can I sleep in my brown contacts

Again, this goes back to whether or not you are getting theatrical/costume brown contacts or regular prescription (extended wear) brown contacts. There have been quite a few studies on whether *any* contact lenses at all are good to wear while sleeping and I’ve seen it go both ways. I would say from my experience and research I would say if the manufacturer says that it’s okay to sleep in them, I would do it and not worry but no more than a couple days. There really should be no reason you can’t take them out and clean let them soak every couple or few days anyways.

Will brown contacts work on my eye color?

One of the most common questions is whether a certain colored contact will work on a specific colored eye. The short answer is yes, you can find pretty much any color you want, to fit any color eye you have, it just will vary in how well it works, and the type that you need. The lighter your eye, the easier it is to color. If you have really dark brown eyes, you will have by far the best luck at totally colored dark contact lenses, and not too much the natural shades of blue and green, etc. Most places you can buy brown contacts from will have a good chart that shows what works best for what. When in doubt, you can always contact them.

Famous Brown Eyes

Brown eyes are by far the dominant eye color in humans and in many places in the world it is nearly the only eye color present at all. It is a lot less common in countries around the Baltic Sea and also in Scandinavia. Brown eyes are the most common eye color, with over half of the world’s population having them.
