Color lenses are to a very large extent
responsible for the huge popularity of the contact lenses as they can
also be worn by people who have great eyesight. Many people wear them to
correct their vision and others wear them just to change the color of
their eyes to look attractive and make a style statement of their own.
These contact lenses are no way different from the normal corrective
lenses but they come with an added attraction of a changed color. Due to
their large popularity they are available in various varieties and types
thus providing the users an option of choice. Some of the important
types of colored lenses are:
A) Visibility tints: A visibility tint is a very light tint,
usually a light blue or green tint. This tint is added to the lens to
help you see it better while inserting and removing or in case you
drop it somewhere. It also does not affect your eye color and is
usually meant for convenience than for changing the eye color.
B) Enhancement tints: An enhancement tint is a solid but
translucent tint usually darker than the visibility tint. The ultimate
aim of enhancement tint is to enhance the existing color of your eyes.
People with light colored eyes should use these enhancement tints for
making their eye color more intense. For example, a person with blue
eyes can use these tints to generate an aqua effect in the
eyes.
C) Opaque tints: These tints can drastically change your eye
color. These are made of patterns of solid colors and are available in
a wide variety of colors like green, blue, hazel, violet and gray.
Opaque lenses are not transparent so whether you have light or dark
eyes, they completely replace the natural color of your eyes with the
color of the lens. These can be fun to play with as you can turn your
blue eyes to green or to any other color you like.
D) Light-filtering tints: Light filtering tints are the most
recent advancement in the world of contact lenses. They are specially
designed for sports use by muting some colors, they enhance specific
colors like the color of tennis and soft balls. Due to this the ball
stands out against the background which makes it easy to target.
So, these are the important types of colored lenses which can be used to
enhance the existing color of your eyes. Lot of these colored lenses are
available in plano form i.e. without any visual correction.
