Types of Color Contact Lenses
There are many types of tints you can buy when using color contact lenses. Let's look at each of these more clearly.
- Visibility - A visibility tint allows you to see your lens better while inserting it or during removal. It is a very light tint, usually in light blue or green thus doesn't dramatically influence your eye color.
- Enhancement - An enhancement tint is a solid tint darker than a visibility tin so it does influence your eye color. Most people buy this kind of color contact lens to enhance their natural eye color. So if for example, you have blue eyes and want to make them bluer, this is a terrific choice of color lens.
- Color - Color tints offer the most dramatic color change for eyes. If you want to completely change the color of your eyes, from blue for example to green, you can use a color tint to achieve the desired outcome. A color tint lens is necessary for people with dark eyes to change their eye color.
- Costume - Costume color lenses are for those that want to dramatically change the color and shape of their eye. These tints or more properly, color lenses, are opaque and can add special effects to your eyes. If you want to go for a cat eye appearance, then costume lenses will provide you just the look you need!
- Light filtering - This is a newer type of color tint that many are using for sports. Light-filtering tints help mute other colors. Let's say for example you are a soccer player. A light-filtering tint can enhance the color of the ball you are using so it is easier to find and take advantage of while playing. This type of tint is increasingly popular among golfers, allowing them to tell the difference between various shades of green while on the golf course.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Color Contact Lenses
There are many advantages of color contact lenses. For one, they allow you to have a little fun with your eye color. Most people use them temporarily to try on a new look or spice up their appearance. As mentioned, you can also use color contacts to help enhance your natural eye color.
Costume lenses are a fun alternatives for parties or special events. Think about how much more dramatic your costume may be next Halloween if you spice things up with a pair of jaguar lenses.
There are of course, some disadvantages of wearing color contact lenses. For the most part contact lens manufacturers make different sized lenses so you can select lenses most likely to fit your eyes. There may be times however, when the fit is not exact and when the color portion of the lens accidentally slides over your pupil, revealing your true color.
It is also important you realize your pupil constantly changes size to help accommodate the amount of light filtering into your line of sight. This impacts the look of your color contact lenses. When using them at night for example, the pupil may look larger than the clear center of your lens, which may slightly impact your vision.
Will I Need A Prescription To Take Advantage of Colored Lenses?
You will need to get a prescription even if you need color contact lenses that don't use vision correction. A prescription will ensure your lens is fit properly by a qualified professional.
No that you should never therefore, buy colored contact lenses from a supplier who doesn't require a proper fitting or prescription. Chances are they are being sold illegally. Fortunately, it doesn't take long for an optician to fit you for contact lenses.
