An Overview of Colored Contacts
Where did colored contacts originate?
Colored contact lenses are becoming more and more popular nowadays and are no longer limited to just theatrical use. There are basically three kinds of colored contact lenses that are available in the market today and they are categorized based on the amount of tint they contain visibility, enhancement and opaque color tints. The visibility tint does not change the colors of the eyes because the tint used is very light and simply makes the colored contacts more visible to the user. The opaque color tints are color contacts that are used primarily to change eye color since they are processed with deeper tints using solid color patterns. A cross between the two types is the enhancement tint which, although having solid color tints, does not change eye color because the tint is translucent. .
Colored contact lenses are also available for those with astigmatism or those who need bifocal corrective lenses aside from the regular cosmetic type which have no corrective powers.
The Food and Drug Administration has regulated the issuance and use of colored contact lenses since they have been found to pose risks of blindness and certain injuries to the eyes. You can no longer buy color contacts without the necessary doctor’s prescription. It is also not advisable to share contact lenses with others whether they are colored
or not because this may cause bacterial transmission.
Why would vampire contact lenses be more expensive than an ordinary colored contact lens?
There are several reasons why color contact lens is more expensive
than the regular contacts. Manufacturers incur additional research
expenses for color contacts than regular contacts.
Tinting the contact lenses is also an added expense during production and because they manufacture lesser quantities of colored contact lenses versus regular ones, the economies of scale are not the same.
What color options do special effect colored contact lenses provide?
If you so decide that you want to change the way you look, changing your eye color is a very dramatic way of doing it. When manufacturers produce colored contact lenses, they make it a point that you will still be able to see with the color change and that the change will not be drastic but more natural. This is done by only tinting the area where the iris is located and the pupil area is kept clear for visibility. The way these contacts are designed, however, poses certain disadvantages to your vision.
When you blink, for instance, there is a possibility that a portion of the
colored area may move toward your pupil causing portions of your vision to become blocked or blurry. Depending on the varying light available, the pupil sizes change specifically enlarging during nighttime while the clear area allocated for pupils of these contacts remain constant. You will experience minor vision problems during these situations. Whatever the situation, always consult your doctor before trying contacts.
