Tinted contact lenses are popular for two reasons; because they allow the wearer to change his/her eye colour and because they are easy to find when dropped. What is special about tinted contact lenses is that they are available without a visual correction element. This means that they can be worn by those who have perfect vision as well as those who require some kind of vision correction.
Cosmetic tinted lenses can change your eye colour and also have a special effect. For instance, there are a number of Halloween contact lenses that flood the market in October which allow people to look like they have cats’ and alien eyes.
Special effects lenses are also used by the film industry as well as by those wanting to look dramatic at a party.
Tinted contact lenses that allow the wear to alter his/her eye colour come in a number of shades. They are widely available in blue, green, brown, hazel, grey and even violet. This means that if you have brown eyes, you can have blue eyes for the evening and then insert a different pair of lenses to make your eyes green the following night. Tinted contact lenses can be worn regardless of your current eye colour.
Tinted contact lenses have another use besides allowing people to change their eye colour. Visibility tints can also be added to contact lenses so that they are easy to find if they are dropped. The tint that is used is so light that it will not change your eye colour.
A new type of tinted contact lens has recently been developed for sports people and athletes. They filter certain wavelengths of light to help the player see a ball more easily. They are being used by golfers and baseball players in particular who find that their game is significantly enhanced compared to simply wearing a cap or sunglasses.
