Contact lenses

The first contact lenses were designed over 500 years ago. In that time, they have evolved from heavy, glass-blown optical devices into light, nearly invisible corrective eyewear. Contact lenses can do amazing things, including change eye color.

Types of color contact lenses

Color lenses, often called cosmetic lenses or decorative lenses, come in different colors and designs. There are two main types of color contact lenses: enhancement tint and color tint.

Enhancement tint alters the eye color but doesn’t completely change it. Enhancements are slightly darker than traditional contact lenses, and are designed to enhance a wearer’s existing eye color. If someone has light green eyes, they can wear a pair of enhancements to make them a deeper, more satisfying shade of green. Enhancement tints come in different shades of each eye color.

Color tints change eye color completely. Unlike enhancements, these lenses are opaque and feature solid colors which obscure the original iris. Color tints can turn light eyes dark, dark eyes light and pretty much anything in between. Color tints come in most colors.

Uses for color contact lenses

Color lenses have many uses. People in the entertainment business frequently use color lenses to change an actor’s natural eye color, like in a monster movie.

Color lenses can be worn during certain holidays, namely Halloween. An eerie contact color can compliment a scary costume.

Or they can be worn for personal preference. Color lenses can improve someone’s eye color, thus improving their self-esteem.
