What Are DYE Monthly Coloured Contact Lenses?
DYE, short for Dress Your Eyes, is a monthly coloured contact lens line designed specifically for all-day wearers who prioritise comfort alongside colour. Each DYE lens is made from hydrogel material with 38% water content, a higher water retention than standard Polymacon monthly lenses, which allows for extended oxygen flow throughout the day and reduces the dryness and tightness that can occur with lower-water-content lenses during long wear periods. The collection currently offers four shades in grey, grayish blue, hazel, and brown, each available as plano (no vision correction) only. All DYE monthly coloured contact lenses are CE-certified and FDA-approved, with a defined pupil hole and a subtle limbal ring that creates a natural enlarged eye effect on all eye colours including dark brown.
Browse the DYE Monthly Coloured Shades
The DYE monthly coloured contact lens range covers two colour families: grey and neutral tones, and warm brown and hazel. All four monthly coloured contact lenses use opaque pigmentation and are designed to perform on both light and dark natural eye colours.
Silver Lace
The Silver Lace DYE Contact Lenses deliver a dusty grey colour with a soft, natural-looking finish and a subtle limbal ring that defines the iris without adding a dramatic effect. With 167 five-star reviews, Silver Lace is the highest-rated monthly coloured contact lenses option in the DYE range and the most popular choice for wearers seeking a cool, everyday grey. The dusty, muted tone suits all complexions and reads as a natural grey eye rather than a vivid transformation.
Stardust
The Stardust DYE Contact Lenses produce a misty grayish blue colour that sits between cool grey and soft blue, adding a cool, atmospheric quality to the eye without the saturation of a vivid blue lens. As a monthly coloured contact lenses choice, Stardust carries 167 five-star reviews and is especially popular with wearers who want a grey lens with a cooler undertone or a blue-grey result rather than a flat grey. The misty finish photographs well and performs consistently under different lighting conditions.
Nola
The Nola DYE Contact Lenses offer a light hazel tone that blends warm golden and amber pigments for a natural-looking hazel result with a subtle, non-dramatic limbal ring. Nola is the warmest monthly coloured contact lens in the DYE range and suits wearers with warm or medium complexions who want a hazel monthly coloured contact lenses option with a soft, luminous quality. It works particularly well on light to medium brown natural eye colours where the hazel warmth complements existing iris tones.
Stormy
The Stormy DYE Contact Lenses deliver a deep chocolate brown colour with full opaque coverage designed for wearers who want a rich, warm brown transformation. Stormy is the deepest and most saturated monthly coloured contact lens in the DYE range and suits all eye colours, particularly dark brown and black eyes where the chocolate tone creates a vivid and noticeable colour change. It is the strongest option in the collection for dark-eyed wearers who want a clearly visible monthly coloured contact lenses result.
Why Choose Hydrogel Monthly Coloured Contact Lenses?
Most coloured contact lenses on the UK market use Polymacon as their base material, which is effective but typically carries a lower water content. DYE monthly coloured contact lenses use hydrogel material with 38% water content, maintaining moisture throughout extended wear and reducing the end-of-day dryness that lower-water-content lenses can cause. The key benefits of hydrogel monthly coloured contact lenses are:
- Higher moisture retention: 38% water content keeps eyes comfortable during extended wear periods of eight or more hours, including full working days and evenings out.
- Reduced dryness and irritation: Wearers who experience discomfort or tightness with standard Polymacon monthly coloured contact lenses often find hydrogel material more comfortable throughout the day.
- High oxygen permeability: DYE lenses are designed for all-day breathability, allowing oxygen to pass through the lens to the cornea throughout the wear period.
- Suitable for frequent wearers: The 30-day wear cycle makes DYE a cost-effective choice for wearers who use their monthly coloured contact lenses four or more times per week.
Note: a higher water content does not automatically make a lens suitable for clinically diagnosed dry eye. If you have been diagnosed with dry eye disease by an ophthalmologist, consult your optician before trialling any contact lens.
Monthly vs Daily Coloured Contact Lenses: Which Is Right for You?
Monthly coloured contact lenses such as DYE are the more cost-effective option for frequent wearers. Each pair lasts up to 30 days from first opening, offering strong value for daily or near-daily use. For occasional wearers, browse our
- Choose monthly coloured contact lenses if: you wear lenses four or more times per week, want the best cost-per-wear value, and are comfortable with a daily cleaning and storage routine using sterile multipurpose solution.
- Choose daily coloured contact lenses if: you wear lenses fewer than twice a week, prefer a no-maintenance fresh lens each day, or want to trial different shades before committing to a monthly pair.
- New to coloured lenses? Starting with a daily option lets you trial shades and assess comfort without committing to a monthly pair. Once you find a shade you love, switching to monthly coloured contact lenses is the more cost-effective choice for ongoing use.
Daily coloured contact lenses are discarded after a single use with no cleaning or storage required, making them ideal for occasional or event-based wear. Monthly coloured contact lenses require cleaning after every wear, adding a small daily routine, but offer significantly lower cost per use for regular wearers.DYE daily lenses if you prefer a no-maintenance, fresh-lens-each-day format.
How to Care for Monthly Coloured Contact Lenses
Monthly coloured contact lenses require a consistent cleaning and storage routine to stay hygienic and comfortable throughout the full 30-day wear period. Follow these steps after every wear:
- Step 1 - Rub: Place the lens in your palm and apply a few drops of sterile multipurpose solution. Rub gently for 10 seconds on each side to loosen deposits and bacteria.
- Step 2 - Rinse: Rinse both sides thoroughly with fresh sterile solution. Never use tap water at any stage as it introduces harmful microorganisms.
- Step 3 - Store: Place each lens in a clean case filled with fresh sterile solution. Never top up old solution - always empty, rinse, and refill the case each time.
- Step 4 - Replace after 30 days: Discard each pair of monthly coloured contact lenses 30 days from the date of first opening, regardless of how frequently you have worn them during that period.
Additional care notes to keep in mind: remove lenses before sleeping, swimming, or showering; replace your lens case monthly; and take lenses out immediately if your eyes feel red, sore, or uncomfortable. If irritation persists, discontinue wear and consult a registered optician before resuming use.
