Colored Contact Lenses

I’m a 22 year old male with brown eyes. I’m nearsighted and wear contact lenses. I wanted to try blue contact lenses and recently saw my optometrist. He gave me blue Freshlook contacts. These appear darker than real blue eyes and the underlying brown iris is still visible around the pupil. Is there any other brand of contact lenses that will completely cover the iris?

Thank you

Under the direction of your MD, maybe you could work with an optometrist to get the right size.

Since that depends on the diameter of your cornea and the size of your pupilI can't answer.
