GetLenses.co.uk finds blue eyes are UK favourite

GetLenses.co.uk, the online prescription and colour contact lenses supplier, found in a recent study that 50% of us believe blue eyes are the most attractive.

Results show those who are lucky enough to have naturally blue eyes are considered to be kind, polite and happy, having the ability to remain calm in stressful situations. The study, which surveyed over 2,000 UK residents about their contact lenses, glasses and dating habits, discovered how eye colour affects how we perceive other peoples personalities.

The study found brown eyed beauties project an aura of mystery, are sensible, dependable and practical, with others often confiding in them. Hazel eyes illuminate a lot about a person depending on their mood. With a mix of brown and green, their persona can be perceived differently, with results showing that the browner the eyes the more inviting; whilst those with greener eyes are more mischievous. The study found that those with hazel eyes are generally spontaneous, fun loving and sociable.

As one of the rarest colours, green eyes are perceived as being mystical and conveying freedom. They tend to be affectionate with close friends, but keep their distance when meeting new people. Those with grey eyes are seen to be the creative, imaginative and passionate. The survey found that people with grey eyes are perceived as being strong by nature, making them good leaders.

Brendan O'Brien at GetLenses.co.uk, said: “If our study results revealed your true colours, it’s easier than ever to change them. We see more and more customers opting for coloured contact lenses, even if they have glasses, when they fancy a change of appearance. You can add an air of mystery with striking green or an aura of intrigue with alluring shades of brown. The best bit is you can be back to your old self the very next day.”
