In a society that values diversity and individual expression, it is no surprise to learn that coloured contacts are more popular than ever before. Coloured contacts allow the wearer to sport just about any eye color or pattern imaginable. Whether you want colour contact lenses that carry a subtle tint or dramatic flashers that really demand attention, the right lens it out there and waiting!

There are four basic types of colored lenses. They are: visibility tints, enhancement tints, opaque color tints and light filtering tints. Some of these lenses merely sport a tint so that you can easily locate them, yet they do not change eye color. Others, of course, offer a full color change.

Coloured contacts are available in prescription or planal and cover a wide range of expectations such as astigmatism, bifocal and disposable. They are no different than transparent lenses when it comes to function. Some of the colored lenses are more expensive than their colorless counterparts, and others are not.

If you are interested in trying colored lenses, you might want to consider asking your eye doctor for a free trial pair. This will allow you to decide if you really like the color in a non-pressured environment. Your eye care professional should be happy to provide you with a sample pair once your eyes have been examined.

Whether you want blue eyes or purple eyes or green eyes or would rather just stick with your own natural color, there are lenses out there to suit your needs. Available in both prescription and planal, lenses are versatile and affordable.
