Today even people who have 20/20 eyesight are lining up for contacts. Why?

The latest, greatest fashion trend: coloured contacts.

What Are Colored Contact Lenses?
Coloured contact lenses have a tint, colour or design inserted directly on the contact lens itself. The centre part that fits over your pupil remains clear to allow your eyesight to be unimpeded.
The tints can improve your natural eye colour, completely change your eye colour or for a very wild appearance, imprint crazy designs or graphics right on the iris.

For example, you can have light blue eyes one day, light brown eyes the next and cat eyes on the weekend. These are versatile, adaptable and fun!

When choosing coloured contacts there are two major types of contact lenses to choose from: Enhancer Contact Lenses and Opaque Contact Lenses.

What Exactly Is The Difference Between Enhancer and Opaque Colored Lenses?
Enhancer coloured contacts use see-through tints that permit certain wavelengths of light to successfully pass through while absorbing others. This results in a vivid improvement of your natural eye colour. It may also change the way the iris looks underneath making your eyes clearly stand out.

Enhancer coloured contact lenses cannot modify your eye colour; only improve what you have. They work particularly well for people that have green, blue or light coloured eyes, generating dramatic and intense looks.

Opaque coloured contact lenses utilize opaque tints that completely cover up your underlying iris. Absolutely no light can pass through the opaque tint, this means your organic eye colour is not seen. Regular opaque contact lenses are carefully built to imitate the natural appearance of the eyes while entirely changing eye colour. You can go from brown-eyes to green, blue-eyes to purple, there is no limit to the colour changes available.

Natural-looking opaque contact lenses are also used for cosmetic reasons to cover up any eye disfigurements a person has that would usually be visible.

For a more pleasant appearance, you can make use of a costume or theatrical contact lenses. These opaque coloured contacts are used all the time to create effects in the films and for Halloween. They can transform you from human to vampire, provide you alien eyes, or let you have your favourite logo visible in your eyes. They can also be ordered with personalized iris flecks for a one of a kind visual appearance.

Additionally there is a new development in coloured contact lenses designed specifically for the sports enthusiast. They have what is referred to as light-filtering tints. These kinds of tints improve the visibility of selected colours for the wearer and allow them to more easily see objects like tennis balls. The tints effectively split the object from the background giving you an advantage during play. There are a number of light-filtering contacts being created for a number of sports activities.

Who Can Wear Coloured Contact Lenses?
Several coloured contacts can be purchased in 'Plano' form for people that do not require eyesight correction. There are also designs for people who require bifocal correction and for those with astigmatism.
