Change your style with Enhancement Color Contacts or Opaque
Colored Contact Lenses as they become increasingly popular outside
Hollywood
One extremely popular innovation in recent years has become color
contacts. As with other eye products, there are many options for
those considering color contacts.
Visibility Tinted Color Contacts
Some lenses have only what is called a visibility tint. These lenses
are designed with a light blue or green tint usually so that you
can find them more easily in solution, but they are not color contacts
in the sense that they will make your eyes appear to be a different
color.
Enhancement Color Contacts
Instead of visibility tinting, many color contacts have what are
known as enhancement tinting. The enhancement tint results in darker
color contacts, which can be used by people with light eyes to darken
or intensify their natural eye color. The enhancement tinting is
still translucent, but still solid.
Opaque Color Contacts
For those who are looking for a dramatic change, they should try
color contacts with opaque color tints. This type of color contacts
comes in a wide variety of colors and can actually make your eyes
appear to be amethyst, blue, gray, hazel, green or a variety of
other colors. The difference with the opaque tints is that the center
of the contact that covers the pupil is clear rather than tinted
to avoid interfering with vision.
Special Effect Color Contacts
Those lenses that are for costume or theatrical use also fall under
the category of opaque tinted color contacts. They include an clear
range of products that can be anything from seasonal shamrocks to
glaring red to glow in the dark.
Color contacts can be inconvenient sometimes if they are not correctly
fitted to your eye because when you blink, they move and the opaque
tint moves to cover the pupil. Also, given that pupils change sizes,
they can occasionally be larger than the area left clear by the
color contacts.
Except for the occasional visibility problem, color contacts can
be a fun alternative to traditional brands and can add some variety
to your natural appearance. As with other lenses, color contacts
require visiting an eye doctor to make sure that you have the correct
prescription, even if you are getting the color contacts only for
fun and not due to a vision deficiency.
