Hazel contact lenses are a special type of cosmetic contact lens designed to temporarily change the appearance of your eyes to a hazel colour, from whatever your natural eye colour is. You can also purchase prescription hazel contact lenses, but here at Lensmate we only sell the cosmetic variety - purely for the appearance, so they will not correct your vision. These are ideal for Instagram photo shoots, cosplay, birthday parties, and other events.

Hazel eye contacts are placed directly on top of your cornea, providing a safe way to give you hazel eyes for a short period of time. They can be worn comfortably for around 8 hours, and sometimes over multiple days.

Yes - hazel contacts are 100% safe to wear and have been stringently tested and meet all EU regulations for safety, including CE certification. As long as you follow the wearing schedule we provide for each hazel lens box and clean the lenses with a quality saline solution whilst following good hygiene practices, then you should run into no issues whilst wearing contact lenses. Some minor irritation may be felt when you first insert them into your eye.

Failure to clean your lenses effectively, however, can result in eye irritation and infection. Don't risk it.

Hazel coloured contact lenses will work great for most natural eye colours, but may be less effective for those people with darker eyes, like dark blue and chocolate. They will work best with lighter eyes, for example light bues, greens and greys.

We sell hazel contact lenses with a variety of wearing lengths available, from a single day (disposables) to 1-month, 3-months, 6-months and 1-year. Most people can wear these lenses safely for up to 8 hours a day, but they must be cleaned by soaking in a good quality saline solution in a clean contact lens case between uses, like overnight.

You should also make sure your hands are thoroughly cleaned before handling, even if you are using a contact lens removal tool or suction stick. Proper hygiene is extremely important with contact lenses to avoid infections.

Most people class hazel and brown as the same colour, but although hazel lenses do have a brown pigmentation in them, they differ in that they are quite light and feature the colours green and amber.

Yes - only around 5% of the UK population have hazel eyes, making them one of the rarest eye colours. Hazel coloured eyes are also one of the most attractive eye colours, according to many studies, made popular by celebrities such as Demi Moore, Zendaya, Kelly Clarkson and Kristen Stewart. Celebrities love hazel contact lenses!
