Color Contact Lenses are one of the hottest fashion accessories out today and are increasingly popular as they can completely change the look of your eyes quickly and effectively. Many people are still hesitant when purchasing color contact lenses as they are unsure what type of contact lens will suit their eyes based on their natural eye color. There are four types of contact lenses available today: opaque tint, visibility tint, light-filtering tint and enhancement tint, and now also prescriptive color contact lenses for people with impaired vision. Whether you wish to brighten, darken or completely change the appearance of your eyes make sure you purchase the correct color contact lenses to achieve the look you are going for.

Visibility Tint Contact Lenses

Visibility tint are contact lenses that have a very slight tint applied to them, either light blue or green. They do not actually change the color of your eyes, however they are slightly tinted to make it easier for you find the lens when floating in contact lens solution or dropped on the floor. When put in your eye they are virtually invisible and they are used as corrective lenses for those with impaired vision.

Enhancement Tint Contact Lenses

Enhancement tint contact lenses are lenses which accentuate your natural eye color. For example if you have blue eyes, they will make your eyes even bluer. These type of lenses work great for people with light colored eyes, such as blue, hazel and green. For people with a naturally dark eye color, opaque color tint contact lenses are recommended.

Opaque Color Tint Contact Lenses

Opaque color tint contact lenses alter your eye color dramatically as they are richly shaded. They can change naturally dark colored eyes to blue, hazel and even green. In order to achieve this look opaque tint lenses use patterns of different colors within the ringed area of your eyes to cover the iris, whilst leaving the pupil clear for visibility. Blue 3 Tone Contact Lenses are a good example of opaque color tint contact lenses. These natural looking contact lenses use three different colors to create realistic blue eyes. The inner part of the lens compromises of a brown shade, followed by a blue shade that covers the majority of the iris. A dark outer ring adds definition to the lens adding a dramatic effect. These lenses are suitable for people with naturally dark eye colors. For people with impaired vision, there are now a range of opaque lenses with corrective vision to help you achieve an eye catching look without having to wear glasses.
