FAQ

Product

Where can I buy FOMOMY products?

FOMOMY products are available through retail channels such as Japanese drugstores and Don Quijote, as well as selected e-commerce platforms. Availability may vary by country, store, and product. Please refer to information provided by authorized local retailers.

Do FOMOMY lenses have medical device registration or approval numbers?

Different FOMOMY lines and specifications have different medical device approval or registration numbers:

  • 30200BZX00117000 for Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses;
  • 22900BZX00217A28 for Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses and Magic Daily Lenses;
  • 22800BZI00037A01 for Iris Daily Lenses (listed in the product information as a Japanese approval number for a specially controlled medical device);
  • 22900BZX00215A26 for Iris Monthly and Magic Monthly Lenses;
  • NMPA Medical Device Registration Number (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan)20233160006 for Iris/Highlight Six-Month Lenses;
  • and NMPA Medical Device Registration Number (Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan)20213160018 for Magic Six-Month Lenses.

These are the numbers stated in the product information. Before purchasing, please verify them against the packaging and the relevant regulatory authority's official records.

What is the shelf life of FOMOMY lenses?

According to the product information, most unopened FOMOMY lenses have a stated shelf life of five years, while Magic Six-Month Lenses are listed as having a six-year shelf life.

Please follow the expiry date printed on the actual packaging, taking the production batch into account. Never use lenses after their expiry date.

How does FOMOMY ensure product quality and safety?

FOMOMY emphasizes product quality and wearing safety through international quality certifications, advanced manufacturing processes, and quality inspection systems.

  • According to the brand's product materials, the Magic series uses pigments with international safety certifications and has market authorizations in 18 countries and seven international quality certifications.
  • Iris Daily Lenses also use internationally safety-certified pigments and undergo three stages of automated, high-precision production control, with six international quality certifications.
  • Iris Monthly Lenses use an advanced automated optical inspection (AOI) system to identify minor defects throughout production and packaging, helping maintain consistent lens quality and providing greater reassurance to wearers.
What is the difference between the two clear daily contact lenses?

The two FOMOMY clear daily lenses mainly differ in material, oxygen transmissibility, water content, and design.

  • Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses are made of silicone hydrogel and incorporate MOIST CATCH TECH hydrophilic silicone technology. They have a stated oxygen transmissibility of Dk/L 187+ and a water content of at least 43% but less than 55%, making them an option for customers who prioritize oxygen delivery and comfort.
  • Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses, by contrast, use a copolymer hydrogel material with a center thickness of just 0.06 mm and a water content of 38%–42% inclusive. Their non-ionic, lower-water-content design focuses on a lightweight, hydrated feel, with the brand advertising comfort for up to eight hours.

In short, consider the silicone hydrogel option if oxygen transmissibility is your priority, or the ultra-thin option if you prefer a thinner lens design. Actual comfort varies from person to person, so choose based on your eye condition and professional fitting advice.

Will the same color look identical in daily and monthly lenses?

Daily and monthly lenses in the same color usually create a similar overall look. However, differences in production lines, printing techniques, and inks may result in subtle variations in color, pattern, or appearance when worn. We recommend checking actual-wear photos for the specific replacement schedule you are considering. The final appearance may vary.

What is fixed-axis highlighting? Will the highlight pattern rotate?

Fixed-axis highlighting is a design intended to keep a lens's highlight pattern relatively stable in orientation. Relevant FOMOMY products use a peripheral vertical-zone design, where structural differences between lens areas help the highlight return toward its intended position after blinking or lens movement. This may help maintain the pattern's direction better than a conventional highlight design.

However, stability depends on eye shape, lens fit, and wearing conditions, so rotation cannot be ruled out entirely.

Materials & Comfort

What materials are FOMOMY contact lenses made of?

FOMOMY lens materials vary by product line.

  • Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses use silicone hydrogel;
  • Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses use copolymer hydrogel;
  • and the Iris and Magic lines primarily use hydrogel.

Specifically, Iris Daily Lenses are listed as using the ionic material Etafilcon A, while Iris Monthly, Iris/Highlight Six-Month, and Magic Daily, Monthly, and Six-Month Lenses are listed as using the non-ionic material Polymacon.

Please consult the information for your specific product and its packaging.

What is the water content of FOMOMY lenses?

Water content differs across FOMOMY lines.

  • According to the product information, Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses contain at least 43% but less than 55% water;
  • Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses contain 38%–42% inclusive;
  • Iris Daily Lenses contain 58%;
  • and Iris Monthly, Iris/Highlight Six-Month, and Magic series lenses contain 38%.

Higher water content is not necessarily better. Oxygen transmissibility, lens material, fit, and your tear-film condition can also affect comfort.

What is the oxygen transmissibility of FOMOMY lenses?
  • According to the product information, FOMOMY Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses have an oxygen transmissibility of 187 Dk/L, described as 15 times that of ordinary hydrogel lenses.
  • Iris Daily Lenses are listed at 24.6 Dk/t;
  • Magic Daily Lenses at 22.5 Dk/t;
  • and Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses at 22.5 Dk/t.
Will my eyes feel dry after wearing FOMOMY lenses for a long time?

Prolonged contact lens wear can cause dryness, depending on the lens material, environment, tear-film condition, and wearing duration.

  • FOMOMY Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses emphasize oxygen transmissibility, while Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses feature a 0.06 mm center thickness.
  • Iris Daily Lenses use Etafilcon A material and a packaging solution containing PMB moisturizing ingredients.
  • Magic Daily Lenses feature 38% water content, a thin lens design, and a PMB packaging solution;
  • Iris Monthly Lenses also have 38% water content.

These features are intended to improve the wearing experience, but no lens can guarantee freedom from dryness during prolonged use.

If you experience noticeable dryness or irritation, remove the lenses promptly rather than continuing to wear them.

Will the lenses scratch my eyes or feel uncomfortable?

Some FOMOMY lenses feature softer edge profiles and designs intended to support tear circulation, aiming to improve fit and comfort. However, rubbing or a foreign-body sensation can also depend on base curve, lens size, lens condition, and individual eye characteristics.

If rubbing, pain, or a pronounced foreign-body sensation persists, remove the lenses immediately, check for damage, and consult an eye care professional if necessary.

Will colored lenses cover my pupils or block my vision?

FOMOMY colored lenses have a stated optical-zone diameter of at least 6.0 mm, intended to reduce the chance that the pattern obstructs central vision. However, actual obstruction depends on pupil size, lighting, lens centration, and individual fit.

If you experience a blocked field of vision, blurriness, or glare, remove the lenses immediately and seek professional advice.

Will I see clearly while wearing FOMOMY lenses?

FOMOMY lenses feature an aspheric optical design intended to optimize focus and visual performance during movement. Actual clarity still depends on having the correct prescription, a suitable lens fit, and your individual eye condition.

If your vision is unclear or unstable while wearing them, remove the lenses and recheck your prescription and lens condition.

Will the color fade or rub off?

FOMOMY colored lenses use an upgraded sandwich-style coloring process, called BMW 3D technology by the brand, which embeds pigments within the lens material to help limit direct contact between pigments and the eye's surface. Some products also undergo automated optical inspection (AOI) to identify manufacturing defects.

These measures support quality control but do not guarantee that color loss or other risks can never occur. Do not wear a lens if you notice unusual color changes, damage, or other abnormalities.

Are FOMOMY lenses easy to tear?

FOMOMY product materials describe non-ionic lens materials as helping reduce protein deposits and supporting lens strength and durability. However, contact lenses can still tear if scratched by fingernails, handled incorrectly, or cared for improperly.

Keep your nails smooth and handle lenses gently. Discard any lens that has a tear, chipped edge, or deformation.

Do FOMOMY lenses offer UV protection?

FOMOMY offers lenses with UV-protective design features.

  • Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses are described as having UV Cut functionality;
  • Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses are described as filtering some UVA and UVB rays;
  • and product information for certain Iris and Magic lenses specifies Class II UV absorption.

Please refer to the relevant product instructions and testing documentation for exact protection levels and performance. Contact lenses do not cover the entire eye area and are not a substitute for UV-protective sunglasses.

Can I wear colored contacts if my eyes are dry or sensitive?

People with dry or sensitive eyes are not automatically unable to wear colored contact lenses, but they should first check for dry eye disease, allergies, inflammation, or other conditions that may make contact lens wear unsuitable. Comfort varies by lens material and specifications.

We recommend an evaluation and fitting by an eye care professional before use. Remove the lenses promptly if you experience redness, stinging, significant dryness, or blurred vision.

Are FOMOMY lenses suitable if I work at a computer all day?

If your job involves long hours at a computer, you may wish to consider FOMOMY Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses, whose product materials emphasize higher oxygen transmissibility and comfort. However, prolonged screen use can reduce blinking and worsen dryness.

Even with high-oxygen-transmissibility lenses, remember to take breaks, blink regularly, and follow the wearing schedule recommended by your eye care professional. Remove the lenses if you experience significant dryness or discomfort.

Can I take a nap while wearing FOMOMY lenses?

We do not recommend napping in ordinary daily disposable contact lenses, including Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses. Although this product emphasizes high oxygen transmissibility, that does not make it suitable for sleeping in.

Unless a specific lens is expressly approved for sleep and an eye care professional has confirmed it is suitable for you, remove your lenses before napping to reduce the risk of eye infections and other complications.

Wearing & Removal

How can I tell whether a lens is inside out?

After washing your hands, place the lens gently on your fingertip and examine its edge.

  • A correctly oriented lens generally forms a bowl shape with edges pointing upward.
  • If the edge flares noticeably outward, like a shallow saucer, the lens may be inside out and should be turned to the correct orientation before insertion.

Do not force a lens into your eye if its shape appears abnormal or you are unsure of its orientation.

How do I insert and remove contact lenses?
  1. Before inserting lenses, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water and dry them. Check that each lens is intact, clean, and correctly oriented. Gently hold your upper and lower eyelids open, place the lens over the center of your cornea, and blink slowly to let it settle.
  2. Before removal, wash and dry your hands again. Look upward, gently slide the lens onto the white part of your eye, and pinch it out with the pads of your fingers, avoiding contact with your nails.

Stop and seek professional guidance if the procedure is difficult or painful.

Are FOMOMY lenses easy to remove?

With proper technique, contact lenses can generally be removed without much difficulty. Wash and dry your hands first, look upward, gently move the lens onto the white part of your eye, and remove it using the pads of your thumb and index finger.

Never dig at the lens with your nails. If the lens will not move or your eye feels very uncomfortable, do not force it; seek help from an eye care professional.

How long can a beginner wear contacts on the first day?

First-time contact lens wearers should gradually build up their wearing time rather than starting with long, continuous wear. The original product materials suggest a gradual schedule beginning at around four hours on the first day, but the appropriate duration should follow the instructions for the specific lens and advice from your fitting professional. This schedule should not be treated as suitable for everyone.

Remove the lenses immediately if you experience redness, stinging, dryness, or blurred vision.

How many hours can I wear contact lenses in a day?

Daily wearing time should follow the product instructions, your eye condition, and advice from your contact lens fitting professional. The product guidance suggests around 6–8 hours a day for daily and monthly lenses and avoiding wear beyond approximately eight hours, although suitable durations differ by product and individual.

  • Daily disposable lenses are for single-day use only and must be discarded after removal.
  • Monthly lenses require appropriate care and replacement approximately one month after opening.

If discomfort occurs, remove the lenses early rather than continuing to reach the suggested wearing time.

Do I need to soak lenses in solution before wearing them for the first time?
  • FOMOMY daily disposable lenses can generally be worn directly after opening and checking the lens condition; they do not need to be presoaked and must not be reused.
  • According to the product guidance, monthly lenses should be soaked in a suitable contact lens solution for at least eight hours before first use, followed by the prescribed cleaning and care steps.

Always follow the instructions for your specific product and lens care solution, and never soak lenses in tap water.

Can I reuse daily disposable lenses?

No. Daily disposable contact lenses are single-use products and must be discarded after wearing, even if you only wore them briefly. Do not clean and reinsert them or save them for the next day, as doing so increases the risk of contamination and eye discomfort.

How long can I use monthly lenses after opening?

Monthly contact lenses should generally be replaced within one month of opening, even if you do not wear them every day. Do not exceed the specified replacement cycle.

After each use, clean, disinfect, and store the lenses according to the lens and care-solution instructions, using fresh solution. Discard lenses early if they become damaged, contaminated, or uncomfortable.

Are FOMOMY lenses designated for the left or right eye?

The relevant FOMOMY lenses are not sold as separate left-eye and right-eye versions. However, you must select the correct prescription for each eye. If your eyes have different prescriptions, purchase the appropriate power for each and keep them clearly separated during use and storage to avoid mix-ups.

Can I clean my contact lenses with other liquids?

Do not use arbitrary liquids to clean contact lenses. Follow the lens and care-solution instructions and use a contact lens solution specifically suitable for soft lenses.

Never use tap water, bottled mineral water, saliva, soapy water, or ordinary household cleaners.

Daily disposable lenses should be discarded after use and do not need cleaning or storage.

Can I still wear a contact lens if it is accidentally damaged?

No. Do not wear a lens with a tear, chipped edge, scratch, or any other damage, even if it seems minor. A damaged lens may scratch or irritate the eye. Discard it and replace it with an intact new lens.

Can I use hairspray or facial mist while wearing colored contacts?

When using hairspray, setting spray, or similar products while wearing contact lenses, close your eyes tightly and keep spray away from your eyes and lenses. A safer approach is to complete spraying before inserting your lenses, then wait until the mist has dispersed.

If spray gets into your eyes or causes significant irritation, remove the lenses immediately and seek professional help when appropriate.

Lens Specifications

Should my contact lens power be the same as my glasses prescription?

Not necessarily. Contact lens power may differ from the prescription for glasses, particularly with higher degrees of myopia, astigmatism, or different prescriptions between the two eyes.

The product page includes a simplified conversion chart, but it cannot replace a contact lens prescription. We recommend confirming the appropriate power using an eye examination, an assessment of astigmatism, and a contact lens fitting rather than simply copying your glasses prescription.

How should I choose contact lens power if I have astigmatism?

If you have astigmatism, choosing contact lenses involves more than your myopia prescription: the cylinder power, axis, and whether a lens can correct astigmatism also matter.

The original product information provides a simplified estimation method, but it is not suitable for every degree of astigmatism or every eye condition.

Obtain a complete eye examination and contact lens fitting, and ask an eye care professional whether ordinary spherical colored lenses are suitable and which prescription you should choose.

What if I have no prescription or the exact power I need is unavailable?
  • If you do not have myopia, check whether your chosen style offers a 0.00-power (plano) option. Current product information lists 0.00-power options for the Iris and Magic lines.
  • If a product does not offer your exact prescribed power, do not choose the closest available option on your own, especially if you have astigmatism or different prescriptions in each eye. Consult a contact lens fitting professional first and check the options actually available on the product page.
What prescription powers are available?
  • According to the product information, Clear Silicone Hydrogel Daily Lenses and Clear Ultra-Thin Daily Lenses are listed in a myopia range equivalent to −1.00 D through −10.00 D.
  • The Iris and Magic lines are listed as offering 0.00 D (plano) through −10.00 D.

Available powers may vary by color, replacement schedule, and pack size. Please check the specifications on the relevant product page.

How many lenses are in one box?

Pack sizes differ by product.

  • The Clear series is listed as containing 30 lenses per box;
  • Iris Daily and Magic Daily Lenses usually contain 10 lenses per box;
  • and Iris Monthly, Iris/Highlight Six-Month, Magic Monthly, and Magic Six-Month Lenses usually contain one lens per box.

Please check the product title, selected specification, and actual packaging before purchasing.

Precautions

Who should avoid wearing colored contact lenses?
  • If you currently have eye inflammation, redness, swelling, infection, or are recovering from eye surgery, you generally should not start wearing colored contacts without professional advice.
  • People who have undergone laser eye surgery or wear orthokeratology lenses should first consult an eye care professional.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals and minors are also advised to seek a professional assessment before wearing lenses.

The product information additionally includes a caution about wearing lenses during menstruation, but suitability should be assessed based on the individual's eye condition rather than treating this as a universal restriction.

What should I check before inserting my lenses?
  • Before inserting lenses, make sure your hands are clean, the lenses are not expired, and there is no damage, debris, or unusual discoloration.
  • Also check whether your eyes are red, painful, producing excess discharge, or otherwise uncomfortable.

If anything seems abnormal, avoid wearing lenses for the time being and consult an eye care professional. First-time users should also confirm the prescription, specifications, and wearing instructions.

What should I do if my eyes feel uncomfortable, my vision is blurry, or my eyes turn red when I first wear lenses?

New contact lens wearers may need a brief adjustment period, but pronounced discomfort, blurred vision, redness, light sensitivity, tearing, or pain should never be ignored.

Remove the lenses immediately if these symptoms occur and do not continue wearing them.

Possible causes include an inside-out, misaligned, damaged, or dirty lens, an incorrect prescription, or an eye-related condition.

Seek prompt medical care if symptoms persist or you develop pain or reduced vision.

Can I drive while wearing colored contact lenses?

Only consider driving after you have had a proper contact lens fitting, confirmed that your vision is clear, and become accustomed to wearing the lenses. Do not drive if you experience blurriness, glare, restricted vision, or any discomfort. Remove the lenses and investigate the cause. You must also meet the applicable local vision requirements for driving.

What other precautions should I know about?

Before purchasing or wearing lenses, carefully read the instructions for your specific product and confirm the prescription, suitability, replacement schedule, cleaning and care procedures, and precautions.

If you have an eye condition, experience discomfort, or are uncertain about lens suitability, consult an eye care professional first. Never exceed the replacement schedule, reuse daily disposables, or wear damaged lenses.

Can fixed-axis colored contacts harm my eyes or affect my vision?

FOMOMY fixed-axis lenses are designed with the vertical zone separated from the optical zone. The stated optical-zone diameter is at least 6.0 mm, intended to reduce interference with central vision from the pattern or lens structure. Some models also have a slim 0.06 mm center thickness to support comfort.

However, this does not guarantee that the lenses cannot affect vision or cause eye problems. If you experience blurred vision, a pronounced foreign-body sensation, redness, or pain, remove the lenses immediately and consult an eye care professional.

Purchasing Information

Which FOMOMY styles are exclusive to China?

Iris/Highlight Six-Month Lenses and Magic Six-Month Lenses are labeled as China-exclusive versions, with Taiwan, China listed as their place of origin. 'Exclusive' generally refers to a product version marketed for a particular region. Actual availability, packaging, and sales channels should be checked against official product listings and labels.

Will the actual lens color differ from the photos?

The color you see when wearing the lenses may differ somewhat from product photos due to lighting, screen displays, your natural iris color, and lens-printing methods. Product images are useful references when choosing a color or style, but actual appearance depends on the physical product and how it looks on your eyes.

Can I resell FOMOMY lenses if I buy too many?

According to the cross-border purchasing notice in the product information, relevant cross-border products are intended only for reasonable personal use and must not be resold.

We recommend buying quantities that match your needs. If you are considering resale, first check the applicable laws and medical-device sales requirements in both the place of purchase and the place of sale.
