What Are Coloured Contact Lenses?

Coloured contact lenses have a tint, colour or patterned design embedded right on the contact lens itself. The centre portion that fits over your pupil remains clear to allow your vision to be unimpeded.

The tints can enhance your natural eye colour by subtly blending additional colours with your iris colour, completely change your eye colour or for a really wild look, imprint crazy designs or logos right on the iris.

One day you could have baby blue eyes one day, brown eyes the next and cat eyes on the weekend. They are versatile, flexible and fun!

When buying coloured contact lenses there are two main categories of contact lenses to choose from: Enhancer Contact Lenses (FreshLook) or Opaque Contact Lenses (CrazyLenses).

What Is The Difference Between Enhancer and Opaque Coloured Contact Lenses?

Enhancer coloured contact lenses use translucent tints that allow certain wavelengths of light to pass through while absorbing others. This results in a vivid enhancement of your natural eye colour. It can also change the way the iris looks underneath making your eyes clearly stand out.

Enhancer coloured contact lenses cannot change your eye colour; only enhance what you already have. They work particularly well for people with green, blue or light coloured eyes, creating dramatic and intense looks.

Opaque coloured contact lenses use blocking tints that completely cover your underlying iris. No light can pass through the opaque tint, which means your natural eye colour is no longer visible. Regular opaque lenses are carefully designed to mimic the natural look of the eye while completely altering eye colour.

For a more fun appearance you can use costume or theatrical lenses. These opaque coloured contact lenses are used all the time to create special effects in the movies and for Halloween. They can turn you from human to vampire, give you alien eyes, or allow you to have your favourite logo visible in your eye. They can also be ordered with customized iris flecks for a unique appearance.

Who Can Wear Coloured Contact Lenses?

Many coloured contact lenses can be ordered in plano form for people who do not need vision correction.
