Colored Soft Contact Lenses

Colored soft contact lenses are an effective tool for correcting vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism, while simultaneously offering an aesthetic edge. In addition to addressing vision problems, these lenses can enhance or completely change your eye color. Most colored contact lenses are designed to mimic the natural look of the iris, or colored part of the eye. There are several tint options available for colored soft contact lenses.

Visibility Tint

This lens has a light blue or green tint that does not change eye color. This tint makes the lens easier to insert into the eye and to find if it is dropped.

Enhancement Tint

This lens has a translucent tint that enhances the natural color of the eye. These lenses are often used by people who have light-colored eyes and want to make their natural eye color more intense.

Opaque Tint

This contact lens has an opaque tint that can completely change eye color. Soft color contacts with opaque tints are available in a variety of colors, including hazel, green, blue, violet, amethyst, gray, and brown.

Soft colored contact lenses are typically more comfortable than hard lenses. They are made of a type of soft plastic combined with water. Water allows oxygen to pass through the contact lens to the cornea, reducing dryness, which in turn increases comfort.
