Colored contact lenses have become a part of many people's makeup. Every time you choose colored contact lenses, do you feel overwhelmed by the options? Today, let's talk about the crucial factor of the water content of colored contact lenses. Many young ladies think that the higher the water content, the better. Is that really the case?

 **The Relationship between Water Content and Lens Characteristics**

The higher the water content, the softer the lens indeed, which is why many ladies choose colored contact lenses with high water content. However, the water content is not the higher the better! The water content of colored contact lenses refers to "the amount of water required for the contact lenses to maintain a soft state". When worn for a short period of time, colored contact lenses with high water content are relatively comfortable. But once worn for a long time, after the water in the high-water-content colored contact lenses evaporates, they will start to draw water from the eyes, making the eyes dry and uncomfortable. If the eyes secrete less tears, problems such as dry eye syndrome may occur.

 Moreover, colored contact lenses with high water content are prone to deformation and dehydration, and their usage cycle is generally short. Therefore, most colored contact lenses with high water content are daily disposable types.

 The Advantages and Disadvantages of Colored Contact Lenses with Different Water Contents

 Low water content (30% - 50%): Generally, the oxygen permeability of this type of colored contact lens is not strong, the texture is a bit hard, and the wearing comfort is not good. However, its moldability is better, and it is not easy to deform. For beginners, the difficulty of wearing is relatively low.

High water content (above 60%): The lens has good oxygen permeability, a soft texture, and a high level of comfort. But as mentioned before, it is prone to deformation and dehydration, and it will also draw water from the eyes. Wearing it for a long time will harm the eyes. 

 Medium water content (42% - 60%): Generally, it is more appropriate to choose colored contact lenses with a water content in this range, and the performance in all aspects is relatively balanced. If your eyes are prone to dryness, then colored contact lenses with a low water content (38% - 42%) are more suitable for you, which can reduce the dryness of the eyes.

Guys, when choosing colored contact lenses, you must carefully consider the factor of water content. Otherwise, it will harm your eyes and make you suffer, and it will also affect our beautiful mood.
