An Insight Into Colored Contacts

Since they were first developed as hard glass lenses in the
1950s, contacts have gone through many transformations and
technical improvements in quality, look and feel.


Today, with the modern advancements of disposable lenses and
toric lenses, more and more people are changing from spectacles
and enjoying the benefits of corrective eye lenses.


The latest, exciting development and daring innovation in the
contact lens industry, however, is the fabulously varied colored
contacts that are now widely available and gaining in popularity.


Gone are the days when contact lenses were worn as a sight
correction device. They are far more than just functional
corrective eye wear - they're now funky, fun and an outrageously
theatrical fashion statement!


Colored contacts let you suggestively enhance the color of your
eyes on a permanent basis or just for an occasional night when
you want to accessorize with a particular outfit.


Now - whatever the occasion you can make a truly unforgettable
'eye catching' appearance and show off your extraordinary 'eye
catching' style!


There are four different types of colored contacts for you to
choose from - visibility tints, enhancement tints, opaque-color
tints and light-filtering tints.


But the best thing of all is most of these come in styles that
can be worn by people who do not necessarily need corrective eye
wear. These style contacts are known as plano form lenses.


Visibility tint colored contacts have a practical application.
They have a light blue or green tint that, although not visible
when being worn, allows you to see them when you are inserting
or removing the lenses. And when (not if!) you drop them they
are much easier to find!


In contrast, enhancement tint colored contacts have a
translucent but darker tint to them. These lenses are not meant
to alter or change the shade of your eyes but rather to enrich
and enhance your existing eye color - hence, their name.


The Opaque color lenses with their dazzling array of colors have
the most dramatic impact and can completely change your eye
shade from brown to blue, blue to purple, etc. Wear them as a
fashion statement or just for a change of mood if you want.


Light-filtering contacts also have a practical application. When
wearing these they will greatly enchance certain colors in your
field of view, making them easier for you to see.


Having trouble driving that tiny little golf ball down the
fairway? Wearing a pair of these performance lenses will make
that golf ball stand out and easier for you to hit. These
performance tested lenses will be the next step forward in
corrective eye wear.
