FreshLook ColorBlends True Sapphire

FreshLook ColorBlends True Sapphire is part of the renowned ColorBlends collection, a series of monthly disposable soft contact lenses engineered to subtly enhance or dramatically transform natural eye color. The True Sapphire shade offers a deep, ocean-inspired blue tone with subtle brown undertones and aqua highlights that create an exceptionally luxurious, multidimensional effect.

Each pair includes two lenses (one for each eye) designed for daily daytime wear up to one month, providing an economical solution for extended cosmetic use. Unlike flat-colored lenses that can appear artificial or unnatural, True Sapphire leverages FreshLook's proprietary 3-in-1 ColorBlends technology to create depth, dimension, and luminous appearance while maintaining exceptional color authenticity.

The lenses are available in both plano (non-prescription) and prescription powers ranging from -0.50D to -8.00D, allowing wearers to correct vision defects while simultaneously enhancing their eye color.

The True Sapphire Color Characteristic

FreshLook ColorBlends True Sapphire is characterized as a deep, rich blue shade with brown undertones and aqua highlights that creates an opulent, gemstone-inspired appearance. The shade is exceptionally captivating, making it ideal for everyday wear or special occasions, and it works beautifully across virtually all skin tones and natural eye colors.

The color captures the luxurious beauty of sapphire gemstones, combining depth with luminosity to create eyes that appear not only blue but genuinely precious and mesmerizing. The tri-tone color pigmentation ensures that True Sapphire creates an ocean-deep appearance while still allowing the wearer's natural iris characteristics to shine through for an authentic yet stunning effect.

True Sapphire is among the most popular colored contact lenses globally, ranking as a bestseller across the USA, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Europe, GCC, and UAE. This widespread popularity reflects the universal appeal of deep blue eyes combined with the lens's exceptional ability to deliver dramatic yet believable results.

3-in-1 ColorBlends Technology

FreshLook ColorBlends True Sapphire utilizes the revolutionary 3-in-1 color technology, which blends three distinct colors on a single lens to achieve a realistic, natural iris effect with exceptional depth and luxury.

The three-color design includes:

Outer Ring (Charcoal): Defines and emphasizes the iris edge, adding definition to make eyes appear larger and younger while maintaining a natural appearance. This layer creates a subtle dark outline that enhances iris visibility and adds striking definition.

Basic Shade Layer: Provides the deep, rich sapphire blue tone that characterizes the lens, dramatically transforming eye color while maintaining authenticity. The brown undertones embedded in this layer create warmth and prevent the blue from appearing cold or artificial.

Inner Ring: Adds depth and incorporates aqua highlights that create luminosity and dimension. This layer is particularly important in True Sapphire, as it provides the multifaceted color-shifting effect that makes these lenses so captivating—appearing more blue in certain lighting and more aqua-toned in others.

The transparent lens material allows the wearer's natural eye color to interact with the lens pigmentation, creating a unique effect specific to each individual's base iris color.

Technical Specifications

Comfort & Hydration Technology

FreshLook ColorBlends True Sapphire prioritizes all-day comfort through an advanced hydrogel composition combining 55% water content with 45% phemfilcon polymer. This high water content ensures the lenses remain moist, cool, and hydrated throughout extended wear, reducing dryness and irritation commonly experienced with deep-colored lenses.

The phemfilcon A material is renowned for its softness and flexibility, making insertion and removal simple even for first-time contact lens wearers. The oxygen permeability rating of DK 20 permits adequate oxygen transmission to the cornea, maintaining healthy eye physiology during daytime wear.

These lenses are designed specifically for daily daytime wear only and should never be worn overnight or during sleep, as extended oxygen deprivation can lead to serious corneal complications.

Ideal Eye Color Combinations

True Sapphire ColorBlends lenses work exceptionally well when worn by individuals with specific natural eye colors:

For Dark Brown/Black Eyes: True Sapphire delivers the most dramatic and striking transformation possible. The deep blue appears intensely bright and luxurious against very dark eyes, creating that "wow" moment that draws immediate attention. The brown undertones in the lens prevent the blue from appearing too cold or artificial on dark eyes.

For Medium Brown Eyes: The lenses create a beautiful transformation from warm brown to cool blue-sapphire, with the brown undertones in the lens providing natural warmth that prevents the effect from appearing jarring or unnatural.

For Light Brown/Hazel Eyes: True Sapphire creates a sophisticated blue-green effect where the lenses' aqua highlights interact with the wearer's natural warmth. The result is a striking transformation that appears completely believable despite the color change.

For Light Eyes (Blue/Green): For those already blessed with blue or light eyes, True Sapphire deepens and intensifies the natural color, creating a more jewel-toned, dramatic sapphire appearance while retaining the brightness and luminosity of light eyes.

Lighting Performance & Visual Effect

True Sapphire demonstrates exceptional performance across different lighting conditions:

Bright Daylight: In natural daylight, the full sapphire blue is visible with aqua highlights becoming more pronounced. The brown undertones add warmth while maintaining the deep blue appearance.

Indoor Artificial Lighting: Under standard indoor lighting, True Sapphire maintains its deep blue character while the lighting-responsive properties create subtle dimension that prevents a flat appearance.

Low Light/Evening: In dimmer settings, the natural pupil dilation reveals more of the wearer's natural eye color through the central lens area, creating a sophisticated blended effect where dark blue transitions to the person's natural eye color.

Photography/Flash: True Sapphire appears particularly vivid and captivating in photographs, with the sapphire blue appearing more intense than in person—an excellent advantage for social media enthusiasts and photography lovers.

How to Use True Sapphire Contact Lenses

Insertion: Wash and dry hands thoroughly. Place the lens on the tip of your finger, verifying it is not inverted. Gently pull down your lower eyelid and insert the lens directly onto the iris. Blink several times to center and settle the lens.

Wear Duration: Wear lenses during daytime hours only, removing them before sleep. Do not exceed 30 consecutive days of wear with a single pair. Maximum recommended daily wear is approximately 14 hours.

Removal: Wash hands thoroughly. Gently pull down the lower eyelid and use your finger to slide the lens away from the iris. Use rewetting drops if the lens feels dry or uncomfortable.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

Proper lens care is essential for eye health and lens longevity:

• Hand Hygiene: Always wash hands with soap and water, then dry completely before touching lenses

• Solution: Use only fresh, recommended contact lens cleaning solutions; never reuse old solution or top off existing solution

• Lens Case: Store lenses in a clean, dry lens case; replace the case every three months

• Daily Cleaning: Gently rub lenses with fresh solution for about 10 seconds and rinse thoroughly before storage

• Storage: Keep lenses in sterile phosphate-acetate buffered saline solution when not in use

• Protein Removal: For deeper cleaning, use enzymatic cleaner at least weekly to maintain lens clarity

• Avoid Water Contact: Do not wear lenses while swimming, showering, or in hot tubs, as chlorine and bacteria pose contamination risks

• Eye Rest: Give eyes periodic rest by wearing glasses one day per week

• Never Sleep in Lenses: Remove before bedtime to prevent corneal complications and infections

Important Safety Precautions

Discontinue lens use immediately and consult an eye care professional if you experience:

• Persistent redness or irritation

• Blurred or impaired vision

• Eye discomfort or pain

• Excessive tearing or discharge

• Sensitivity to light (photophobia)

• Feeling of a foreign object in the eye

Contact lenses should only be worn if prescribed or fitted by an eye care provider. Incorrect fit or improper use can lead to serious eye infections, corneal ulceration, and vision loss.

Storage & Expiry

Store True Sapphire lenses in a cool, dry location away from heat, direct sunlight, and sharp objects. The lenses typically have a minimum shelf life of 12 months or more from the date of purchase when stored properly. Always check the expiration date before opening and using new lenses.
