Types of Colored Contact Lenses
1) Visibility tint: These lenses
are usually with a light blue or green tint so that one can see them
more easily while applying or if dropped. The color tint is so light
that it does not affect eye color.
2) Enhancement tint: While providing a change of eye color, the enhancement tint subtly amplifies your current eye color.
3)
Color tint: For those who wish to completely change their look, the
color tint comes in a large variety of colors that will instantly change
your eye color.
4) Light-filtering tint: These newly designed
lenses are designed for those who are active or athletes, as they
enhance certain colors and diminish others. For example, it's helpful
for an athlete to see a ball if its color is enhanced.
Types of color
Generally contact lenses come in the following colors: blue, green, gray, honey or topaz, pearlescent, brown or violet.
1) Blue: From deep blue to aqua marine, contact lens wearers have many shades of blue to choose from. Even if you have the deepest of brown eyes, you can completely change your color to light blue overnight with colored tint contact lenses. Those who have naturally blue eyes can wear either the color tint of enhancement tint lenses.
2) Green: While the most popular colored contact lens, choosing the right shade of green can be tricky. It's important for those completely changing their shade to consider their complexion in order to choose the best green hue.
3) Brown: A perfect colored contact lens for those wanting to warm their eye color, brown lenses allow one to intensify or darken their natural color or to change their eye color completely.
4) Gray: The color gray is actually a natural shade that can still provide a rare look. For a drastic gray color, one would want to choose the color tint, which exudes a cool, unique look.
5) Honey or topaz: With an array of variations such as twilight, sunrise and amber, honey or topaz shades are quite popular, especially those with a medium or dark complexion.
6) Pearlescent: People generally choose this shimmery shade because they want one thing: sparkle. Choosing a contact lens with just a small ring of this shade is also an option, which enhances the sparkle in your eyes.
7) Violet: Often seen as an exotic, passionate color, the shade of purple is popular among those who have dark eyes. However, this shade can be worn by everyone in either enhancement tint or color tint contact lenses.
