Color Contact Lenses

Today’s modern technology has made changing your eye color easy and affordable. There are many types of contact lenses available in the market today that you can buy to change the color of your eye in a matter of seconds. These include:

Visibility Tints – These have only a very light tint, yellow, blue or green and do not dramatically change the color of the eye. They simply allow you to see your lens better during insertion or removal.

Enhancement Tints – This type of lens is slightly solid in its tint and to some effect influences the color of the eye. Most people use it to enhance the color of the eye without actually changing it visibly.

Light Filtering Tints - This is a newer type of color tint that is commonly used by athletes and sportspersons. Light-filtering tints serve to mute other colors. For example it helps to enhance the color of a tennis ball while diminishing the other colors around it, thus proving beneficial for a professional tennis player. Golfers use it to differentiate the various shades of green on the golf course.

Color tints offer the most dramatic color change for the eyes. These help to completely change the color of the eyes, from blue to green, brown to blue and so on.

Theatrical Color Lenses - These are for those that want to dramatically change the color and shape of their eye. These lenses, are opaque and can add special effects to your eyes. For example cat eye appearance, or a ghost like apparition are best achieved with costume tints.

Each of these colored contact lenses offer something unique and help to enhance your personality or appearance. The best part is that you can buy them irrespective of a prescription or vision correction lens. That means anyone, even those who don't need to wear contacts to correct their vision, can enjoy the benefits of color contact lenses. They are also available with prescription and all patients including those with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism can wear them. You can buy color contacts as frequent replacement lenses or even as disposable lenses.
