How many mm are large diameter cosmetic contact lenses? Is 14.5mm a large diameter cosmetic contact lens?

Colored contact lenses are a blessing for people with myopia and can enlarge the eyes, making them a very convenient product. However, when we wear colored contact lenses in our daily lives, we should pay attention to eye safety. Many girls choose large-diameter colored contact lenses in order to achieve bigger eyes.

The diameter of cosmetic contact lenses can be large or small. Generally speaking, the larger the diameter, the more obvious the effect will be, and the smaller the diameter, the more natural it will be. However, when choosing the diameter of cosmetic contact lenses, it is not the case that larger is better, nor is it the smaller is better. Instead, we should make decisions based on the size of our eyes. And although there is a rough range for the maximum diameter of cosmetic contact lenses, it has different definitions for different wearers.

At present, the diameters of most cosmetic contact lenses on the market are between 13.8mm and 14.5mm, among which 13.8mm to 14.0mm are small diameters, while 14.2mm to 14.5mm and above are large diameters.

Is 14.5mm a large diameter for cosmetic contact lenses?

The diameter of cosmetic contact lenses generally ranges from 13.8 to 14.5. Of course, there are smaller or larger ones, but these are not suitable for the general public. The diameter of 14.5 is considered to be relatively large among normal lens diameters.

The average diameter of the cornea of ​​Chinese people is about 11.5 to 12mm, so it is more appropriate to choose a lens with a diameter of about 14mm. However, now that cosmetic contact lenses are used as cosmetics to enlarge the eyes, consumers are willing to choose contact lenses with larger diameters, such as contact lenses with a diameter of 14.5, which are quite popular.

However, for Asians, the diameter of 14.5mm is already a large diameter. Most of the diameters we see on the market are 13.8mm, 14.0mm, and 14.2mm, and this range is also the most adaptable. The diameter of 14.5mm is only suitable for a few people with large eyes.

Not everyone can choose a 14.5mm diameter contact lens, and don’t choose 17.0 or 18.0mm contact lenses lightly. Of course, if your eyes are bigger or your makeup requires it, you can also choose a 14.5mm contact lens.

How to choose the right contact lenses for you

If you have small eyes, it is generally recommended to choose contact lenses between 13.8mm and 14.0mm, because a diameter that is too large will not bring a good wearing effect. For some girls with small eyes, contact lenses with a diameter of 14.0mm may be considered large, so when choosing, you must base your choice on the size of your eyes.

If you have larger eyes, it is recommended to choose contact lenses between 14.2mm and 14.5mm. If you want a more natural look, you can choose 14.2mm. If you want larger diameter contact lenses with obvious effects, you can choose 14.5mm.

In addition, there are some cosmetic contact lenses on the market that are larger than 14.5mm. Although they have a very obvious wearing effect, they are not suitable for everyone, so you need to be cautious when choosing.

For Asians, due to the characteristics of their eyes, the diameter of the lenses should be within 14.5. However, it is best to choose the diameter of the contact lenses according to the size of your eyeballs, so that the lenses will not fall off or cause corneal injuries, and they will be more comfortable and easy to wear.

Tips

The diameter designs of regular cosmetic contact lens brands are not too exaggerated, and the method of enlarging the eyeball is not just to increase the diameter. The annular layer and shiny layer designs used in some cosmetic contact lenses can also achieve the best effect of enlarging the eyes.

The larger the diameter of the contact lenses, the better. The larger the diameter of the contact lenses, the more obvious the wearing effect will be, and the larger the area of ​​the eyes covered by the lenses will be, which will not only affect the breathing of the eyes, but may also have the opposite effect. Therefore, you must be cautious when choosing contact lenses with large diameters.
