Most people are familiar with the idea of regular contact lenses designed to correct vision problems. Fewer are aware however of tinted lenses which allow people to change the colour and appearance of their eyes; even if their sight is completely normal. This is possible because unlike other lenses, they are available without a visual correction element.
Tinted contact lenses can be a lot of fun! You can use them to go from a brown eyed babe to a green eyed goddess! Plus, as you can buy tinted contacts in a full variety of shades (including exotic ones like mauve) you can match your eye colour to your outfit. Talk about the perfect accessory!
And the fun doesn’t stop there! As well as changing the colour of your eyes you can also dramatically alter their appearance. Have you ever watched a movie and wondered how the make up artist made an actor look like he had tiger eyes? Or been to a Halloween party and thought to yourself how feline the eyes of the girl in the cat costume looked? Well they achieved these look with the help of tinted lenses, and so could you!
In addition to the light hearted side of tinted lenses, there are also a number of practical benefits attached to them. For instance the tint in the lens can make it easy to find if dropped on the floor. Finding a blue lens is after all much easier than finding one that is completely transparent.
Tinted contact lenses have recently been developed to help athletes and people who play certain ball sports. These unique contacts are specially designed to filter certain light waves which helps wearers to see balls more easily. For many this is infinitely more preferable to wearing a baseball cap or sunglasses.
