How to Choose the Best Graphic DIA for Toric Color Contacts
Don't Make Mistakes with Toric Lens Sizes!
Key Points on Graphic DIA and the "Golden Ratio"
"I bought color contacts, but my eyes look too big and unnatural..."
"I'm not sure which size fits me best." Does this sound like you?
When choosing toric color contact lenses, looking at the "Graphic DIA (GDIA)"—the actual size of the colored portion—rather than just the overall lens diameter (DIA), is the shortcut to achieving your ideal look.
As specialists in toric lenses, My Toric explains the tips for choosing the perfect size in an easy-to-understand way!
1. Know the Difference Between "DIA" and "Graphic DIA"
Let's correctly understand these two terms that frequently appear in spec charts.
DIA (Overall Diameter):
The total size of the lens itself. It affects the wearing comfort and oxygen supply to the eye.
Graphic DIA (GDIA):
The size of the part with actual color and design. This is what determines the visual "eye-enlarging effect."
✨ Let's Compare Actual GDIAs!
👉 First, a natural eye look
👉 GDIA 13.2mm: Close to a natural iris size
👉 GDIA 14.4mm: Significant eye-enlarging effect
💡 For a natural look, choose a diameter close to your own iris. If you want to emphasize and enlarge your eyes, choosing a larger lens will help you find the perfect cute style for your needs!
2. What is the "Golden Ratio" for Beautiful Eyes?
The ideal ratio of white-to-black-to-white for eyes to look most beautiful and natural is said to be "1 : 2 : 1."
The Natural Look (13.0mm – 13.3mm)
A natural impression, as if your naked eyes are just a tiny bit larger. Perfect for school or the office.
The Bold Look (13.4mm – 13.6mm)
A size that gives your eyes a strong presence and makes your makeup pop.
